Novak Djokovic crowned Wimbledon champion after beating Nick ... (The Guardian)

Novak Djokovic has been crowned Wimbledon champion for a seventh time following a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) victory over Nick Kyrgios.

He continually overwhelmed Kyrgios from on top of the baseline, dragging him from side to side while absorbing his first strike with his peerless defence. He spent the change of ends pointing out his heckler to the umpire. Djokovic, one of the best returners of all time, struggled badly to read his serve and made poor decisions under pressure. He served extremely well, he weaved his web of variety and even out-rallied Djokovic from the backhand corner. He was deported before the first grand slam tournament of the year, then he was thoroughly outplayed in the second. This was a final of two players with completely different standings in the game, but who have garnered massive followings and had frequent brushes with controversy in their careers.

Novak Djokovic beats Nick Kyrgios for 7th Wimbledon title (CNBC)

The top-seeded Djokovic ran his unbeaten run at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 28 matches and raised his career haul to 21 major trophies.

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. There's more: Federer missed the tournament for the first time since the late 1990s because he is still recovering from a series of operations on his right knee. In last year's title match at Wimbledon, Djokovic dropped the opening set. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way. Waited until his own level rose to the occasion.
