Wimbledon 2018: Novak Djokovic Claims Fourth Title On Centre Court, Dominates Final To Beat Kevin Anderson

Novak Djokovic has won his first title of the season since his return from elbow injury, making this his 13th Gram Slam title. 

The Serb, 31, seemingly cruised through the final, thrashing his South African opponent Kevin Anderson on Centre Court to claim his fourth Wimbledon and his first major title since French Open 2016. 

Anderson caved to the excellent play from 12th seed who had him well contained throughout to win in straight sets 6-2 6-2 7-6(3).

Djokovic brilliantly controlled the match, from the first game to claim the opening set conveniently in just 29 minutes and proceeded for another "ease through" win at the second set. 

Anderson aggressively fought back at the third set, holding the Serb to a tie-break before the dropped by netting a forehand return to concede defeat. 

Speaking at a court-side interview after the match, the world number 21 expressed his delight at winning his first major in two years describing it as a "very special moment" for him. 

"I had any moments of doubt, I didn't know if I could come back to this level to compete," he said recalling struggling to find his form at the beginning of the season "There is no better place to make a comeback. It's a sacred place for world of tennis, it's very special."

Having won his fourth Wimbledon, he tallied record set by Pete Sampras (American) and Boris Becker (Germany) all-time top winners as Roger Federer leads in first place with seven, Swede Bjorn Borg (6) and United States' John McEnroe (5).
