I've beaten Nadal again, he seems to be saying. Djokovic is the new Wimbledon champ.

I've beaten Nadal again, he seems to be saying. Djokovic is the new Wimbledon champ.

"Today’s win over Rafael Nadal means that the “Serbinator” has won the last five encounters between the two and that will be on Nadal’s mind when they resume hostilities at some stage on the US hard-court swing."

Novak Djokovic continued his remarkable year by winning the Wimbledon title this afternoon against Rafael Nadal and showing the tennis world that he's taken over as the best player in the world in more ways than one.

Novak Djokovic won his first Wimbledon title after beating Rafael Nadal 3-1 on Centre Court this afternoon. The Serb was matched at a high of 9.6 to win the tournament when the winner market went up a few months ago and there were doubts over his ability to master the lawns of the All England Tennis Club with their inconsistent bounce and unique characteristics; he was matched at a high of [2.6] to win today's match.

Djokovic adds the Wimbledon title to the Australian Open, which he won earlier in the year, and maintains the incredible record of having lost just one match all year. That was the French Open semi-final at the hands of Roger Federer, who missed out on the chance of having another go at Djokovic when he lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals on Wednesday; Djokovic beat Tsonga 3-1 in the semis.

Today's win over Rafael Nadal means that the "Serbinator" has won the last five encounters between the two and that will be on Nadal's mind when they resume hostilities at some stage on the US hard-court swing. Djokovic is the new World Number One with Nadal slipping down to second.

On Saturday it was Petr Kvitova's turn to win her maiden Wimbledon title when she beat hot favourite Maria Sharapova in straight sets. The Czech had been matched at a high of [25.0] to win the tournament at the start of proceedings but on the day she was by far the more relaxed and consistent player of the two, despite Sharapova being the one with three Grand Slam titles under her belt; Kvitova was making her debut in a Slam final.

Somewhat surprisingly the outsider was only ever matched at [9.0] to win in straight sets, despite being broken in the very first game of the match. She was matched at a high of [3.7] to win in the match odds market.

Sharapova won't be too disheartened by her defeat though. This was her first Grand Slam final in over three years after a series of injury problems and she'll surely be better for her great run at SW19 with the US Open coming up in a couple of months.
