Novak Djokovic on Sunday defeated Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon 2022 final to claim his seventh title in the All England tournament – fourth consecutive.
After losing the first set, the Serb, World No 3, reacted phenomenally and won three in a row. He triumphed 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3).
“It’s weird. I felt like he didn’t do anything amazing today,” said the unseeded Kyrgios, offering an assessment with which some might not concur, given that Djokovic accumulated 31 winners and merely eight unforced errors over the last two sets, while facing zero break points in that span.
Among men, only Roger Federer owns more Wimbledon titles than Djokovic, with eight, and only Rafael Nadal owns more major trophies, with 22.
“The more you win, it’s logical the more confident, the more comfortable you feel out there every next time you step out on the court,” said the top-seeded Djokovic, who was pleased to hear some spectators at Centre Court chanting his nickname, “No-le! No-le!” as he served out the final point of a tremendously well-played tiebreaker.
