G'day sports fans,
βAnd I never thought I was going to say so many nice things about you considering the relationship. OK, itβs officially a bromance.β - Novak Djokovic on Nick Kyrgios.
π¦πΊ Aussie Sport
Novak Djokovic has won his seventh Wimbledon title after beating Nick Kyrgios in a closely fought and at times fraught men's singles final.
The Serbian successfully defended the title in four sets, winning 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 to claim his 21st Grand Slam tournament.
"I lost words for what this tournament, for what this trophy means to me, to my team, to my family," the 35-year-old said afterward.

Nick Kyrgios' first ever Grand Slam final was never going to pass by without an outburst from the Australian.
After taking the first set against Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon showpiece, Kyrgios dropped the second set and then let his anger get the better of him in the third.
He was particularly furious with one fan on Centre Court, who he claimed was putting him off.
