Top-seeded Novak Djokovic defeated Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Sunday to win his fourth straight Wimbledon championship and seventh overall.

He and the world also learned that he is due in court in Australia to face an assault allegation. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men's champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

In the second set, with Djokovic serving at 5-3, Kyrgios got to love-40 -- a trio of break points. "Every single time, it gets more and more meaningful and special," the top-seeded Djokovic said.

Some noise from the crowd in between a first and second serve cause him to complain the umpire. Kyrgios fought to remain in the set, earning three break points as Djokovic served to level the sets. Despite playing in his first grand slam final, Kyrgios -- who qualified for the final after Nadal pulled out due to injury -- showed absolutely no signs of being overawed. The Australian broke Djokovic's service game and, behind his almost unreturnable serve, clinched the first set to settle his nerves -- if there were any in fact. "It always has been and will be the most special one in my heart. Djokovic was in an early deficit as Kyrgios got off to a fast start.

Même si la dernière manche a été serrée, Djokovic n’a jamais été en danger contre le 40e joueur mondial. J’étais très concentré. Je sentais qu’il ne faisait rien d’extraordinaire. Je me suis placé en position de gagner, mais je n’ai pas été assez opportuniste. Dimanche, Novak Djokovic a remporté le tournoi londonien pour une quatrième édition de suite, son 21e titre du Grand Chelem en carrière. Ce moment a donné un dur coup aux espoirs de l’Australien qui tenait tête à la troisième raquette mondiale.

Djokovic a finalement trouvé les réponses à tout l'arsenal de Kyrgios. Il a notamment été puni pour avoir craché en direction d'un spectateur lors du premier tour et pour avoir utilisé un langage trop coloré dans sa victoire contre Stefanos Tsitsipas en troisième tour.
