But Novak edged Roger Federer by an unbelievable-looking 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 result.
This is the longest wimbledon final and the most interesting to me, so much emotions flowed during and after the game that lasted for almost 5hours especially for Federer's supporters.
He then squatted and performed his personal tradition of plucking and eating a blade of grass.

A very robust congrats to Djokovic, it was a bloody, sweaty and teary final.
