‘My son made it special’: Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic captured his fourth Wimbledon title with a 6-2 6-2 7-6(3) win over Kevin Anderson. Speaking to journalists after the match he talked about his son and how this victory was extra special to him –
“I couldn't pick a better place, to be honest, in the tennis world to peak and to make a comeback. Wimbledon has been always a very special tournament to me, and to many players obviously. I dreamed of winning it when I was a seven-year-old boy. I made a lot of improvised Wimbledon trophies from different materials. I really always dreamed of winning Wimbledon. When that happened back in 2011, when I became No. 1 of the world, in just a couple days all my dreams came true. It's really hard to compare this year's victory and trophy with any of the other three because they're all special. But if I can pick one, that would be probably the first one and this year's winning because my son was at the trophy ceremony, which made it extra special."
