Championship Sunday!
The 125th Wimbledon Championships came to an end today, and what an exciting day it was!

Novak Djokovic, the new No. 1, broke Rafael Nadal’s 20-match winning streak at Wimbledon to claim his very first Wimbledon title. We had thought Nadal might battle back after taking the third set, but Djokovic was just too good, winning by a final score of 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3. For a set-by-set recap of the match, click here!

Nice work by some of our Twitter followers, who predicted that Djokovic would win in four sets today. In our pre-match poll, most voters were split between Djokovic winning in four sets and Nadal winning in five.

Congratulations to Jurgen Melzer and Iveta Benesova, who claimed the mixed doubles title today! Make sure to read about the wheelchair doubles finals, too–Esther Vergeer is unstoppable.

Elated Djokovic Lifts Wimbledon Trophy

An elated Novak Djokovic lifted the Wimbledon trophy on Sunday afternoon after beating Rafael Nadal in four thrilling sets.

Kneeling in almost sheer disbelief after serving out championship point, Djokovic celebrated his new No. 1 berth in the best way possible with a richly deserved 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 success.

Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer: Three-Way Rivalry?

Novak Djokovic is the new king of tennis, having earned the No. 1 ranking and his first Wimbledon title.

For his part, Nadal has 10 Grand Slam titles. Federer, meanwhile, is widely considered the best player in tennis history.

Can Djokovic-Nadal-Federer be considered a three-way rivalry, or is this a two-man show?
