Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon

Djokovic had already usurped Rafael Nadal at the top of the world rankings just by reaching the Wimbledon final, but the way in which he beat the Spaniard at the All England Club was a hugely symbolic climax to his remarkable ascent in 2011.

The Serb's penchant for playing the goofy joker was for the most part put to one side as he set about winning the Australian Open and Masters events in Indian Wells, Miami, Rome and Madrid. In fact, the only defeat Djokovic had suffered all season going into Wimbledon was the semi-final at the French Open, which he lost to Roger Federer. There were to be no such blips at SW19. The 24-year-old beat Nadal in a final for a fifth time that season to claim a third grand slam title with his 47th win of the year.

"This is the best day of my life," Djokovic said as he clutched the trophy. "This is the tournament I always dreamed of winning."

He would go on to also win the US Open, meaning he is now just a victory at Roland Garros away from completing a career Grand Slam.
