Novak Djokovic has won the Wimbledon title for the second straight year, and again against seven-time champion Roger Federer.
Federer had been trying, again, to win a record eighth Wimbledon title. He remains even with Pete Sampras and 1880s player William Renshaw, who also have seven.
The top-seeded Serb beat Federer 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 Sunday on Centre Court to win his third title overall at the All England Club.
Last year, Djokovic beat Federer in five sets.
