The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovik has won the Wimbledon tournament. A bumpy year for him culminated on Sunday when he defeated Nick Kyrgios 2-1.
Nick Kyrgios is a somewhat strange player. He is one of the greatest tennis players ever, but he is rude to officials, mean to ball boys, and has cost tennis venues thousands of dollars in repairs due to the equipment he has damaged. Djokovik’s victory over Kyrgios marks Djokovik’s seventh Wimbledon men’s single title, bringing him even with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw, and just behind Roger Federer, who has earned eight titles. If he wins another Wimbledon tournament, Djokovik will be tied with Roger Federer for the world record. This is also Djokovik’s 21st Grand Slam singles title.
He won the tournament like he usually does, which is by figuring out how his opponent plays, to the point where his “figuring out how his opponent plays,” (according to Amazon News) becomes “destroying his opponent in tennis.” Djokovik read Kyrgios’s serve, and returned it like a 35-year-old player who is called the best-ever serve returner should. Djokovik won by staying calm while Kyrgios’s temper flared up when a fan’s yelp disturbed his serve. Kyrgios then talked and talked with his team members and the chair umpire. He received a warning for excessive commentary. Kyrgios said that the yelping woman had about “700 drinks.” The umpire said he hadn’t heard the spectator’s yelp, but Kyrgios argued that the umpire did hear the disturbance. If Kyrgios has another similar outburst, the next step will be a point penalty and after that a game penalty.
Wimbledon may have been Djokovik’s last tournament in 2022. The United States is not allowing noncitizen, nonresident internationals to enter the country unvaccinated. Since Djokovik is determined to stay unvaccinated, he may not be able to play in the U.S. Open in late August.
If this is his last competition this year, at least it was a triumphant one; in an outstanding move, Djokovik defeated the unpredictable, cantankerous Nick Kyrgios.
