AFP LONDON

NOVAK Djokovic saved two match points to clinch a fifth Wimbledon title and 16th ma- jor on Sunday, shattering Rog- er Federer’s bid to become the oldest Grand Slam champion in the longest final ever played at the tournament. Despite being outplayed by the 37-year-old Swiss for large parts of the knife-edge encounter, the world number one triumphed 7-6 (7/5), 1-6, 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 13-12 (7/3). At 4 hours and 57 minutes, it was the longest Wimbledon final ever played and settled by a final set tiebreak for the first time. Djokovic is the first man in 71 years to win the title from match points down. He is now level with Bjorn Borg as a five-time Wimble- don winner. “I think that if this is not the most exciting final then definitely it’s in the top two or three of my career against CUP OF JOY: Novak Djokovic poses with the winner’s trophy on the balcony of the club house at the All one of the greatest players of England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London, on Sunday.
