Novak Djokovic secures Wimbledon title
Djokovic came through 6-4 6-1 1-6 6-3 to end Nadal's reign² as Wimbledon champion, before overtaking the Spaniard as world number one on Monday.

It was his 50th win in 51 matches and his fifth win over Nadal this year.

He becomes the first Serbian man to win Wimbledon, his third Grand Slam title after two Australian Open victories.

Djokovic had done enough before Sunday's final to guarantee himself the top ranking on Monday no matter what the result.

He came into the match having beaten the Spaniard in four finals already this year, but Nadal - on a 20-match winning streak³（连胜） at the All England Club - was still favoured by many to claim a third Wimbledon title as he had won all five Grand Slam meetings with Djokovic.

That record felt like ancient history as the Djokovic of 2011 overcame a slightly edgy⁴（急躁的，尖利的） start to take a stranglehold（束缚） on the match.

In a desperately⁵ tight opening set, the pace and accuracy of the Serbian's groundstrokes began to draw errors from the usually faultless Nadal and earned him the first break point of the day at 5-4.

A Nadal forehand into the net gave Djokovic the set and the Spaniard appeared rattled⁶, firing a smash over the baseline in a rare moment of promise at 30-30 at the start of the third.

Djokovic, brimming with（洋溢着，充满着） energy and confidence, needed little encouragement and came haring in to chase down a drop shot in the next game, angling away the backhand to break before turning to his supporters to celebrate.

What followed was a breathtaking set that flew by as the Serbian fired 13 winners in what must rank among the best passages of play seen on Centre Court.

Nadal was in desperate trouble and needed a lifeline, which was handed to him when Djokovic played backhand into the net in the third to slip behind.
