Novak Djokovic was back on top of the tennis world after his Wimbledon triumph on Sunday.
After a couple of tough years, he has rounded a difficult corner in his career and appears to be back to his best.
Here is a look at the final day of the championships.
Post of the day
Bravo @DjokerNole – a commanding performance worthy of 50 years of Open tennis. I am sure there will be many more crowns to come. Your comeback is inspirational #Wimbledon

All-time great Rod Laver salutes champion Djokovic, who has put injury and a dip in confidence behind him to re-emerge as the force of old.

Only because it was the serve that confirmed Djokovic as a grand slam winner again. In truth, the men’s final rather lacked the high drama of matches earlier in the tournament and stunning shots were in rather short supply.

It has to be the men’s final, simply because of the size of the occasion. Wimbledon got a champion who richly deserved that title, and the sport will benefit from having Djokovic back in prime form.
A good day for…

This little chap, Stefan Djokovic, loved seeing Dad lift the trophy. A day to treasure for the family.
A bad day for…
It means so much for me to have played in the @Wimbledon final. There are so many positives and great memories I will be taking with me. Thanks to everyone from South Africa and around the world for your support and messages. It has been an incredibly special fortnight. pic.twitter.com/WxKGvl6bho

Kevin Anderson took defeat graciously, knowing the right result had been reached. He might not reach another Wimbledon final, so in one sense it was a bad day, but he has also joined the ranks of the select few who have got through to one, so was justifiably proud.
Quote of the day

“I was visualising, imagining this moment of him coming to the stands, cherishing this moment with my wife and me and everyone. He was not there until the very moment when I was walking to get an interview. That was just a moment that I will carry inside of my heart forever.” – Djokovic was thrilled to see his three-year-old son on Centre Court as he held the trophy.
