Djokovic wins 4th Wimbledon by beating Anderson in 3 sets

LONDON (AP) -- Novak Djokovic is back at his best and the Wimbledon champion for a fourth time, grabbing a lead right away against a weary Kevin Anderson in the final and winning 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (3) on Sunday.

Anderson nearly managed to extend the match, holding five set points to force a fourth set. Djokovic held steady, saving all five of those, then was as superior in the tiebreaker as he was most of the sun-drenched afternoon.

It is Djokovic's 13th major trophy, the fourth-highest total in the history of men's tennis.

But it's also his first in more than two years.

During that time, Djokovic struggled with a painful right elbow that eventually required surgery and as his losses accumulated, his ranking fell out of the top 20 for the first time in more than a decade. He grew so frustrated with his form that he spoke about skipping the grass-court circuit.

Fortunately for him, he changed his mind.

Angelique Kerber beats Serena Williams 6-3, 6-3 to win Wimbledon

Angelique Kerber was not about to be overwhelmed by the setting or the stakes in this Wimbledon final. She knew exactly what to expect -- and what to do -- against Serena Williams.

Two years after losing to Williams with a title on the line at Centre Court , Kerber came through. So steady, so patient, so accurate throughout, she never really gave Williams much of a chance this time, putting together a 6-3, 6-3 victory Saturday for her first championship at the All England Club and third major overall.

"I think it's the experience. You have to go through all the things -- the good things, the bad things -- and then you need to learn," said Kerber, the first German to win Wimbledon since Steffi Graf in 1996.

"I know that against Serena, I have to play my best tennis, especially in the important moments," said Kerber, who won the Australian Open and U.S. Open in 2016, but was the runner-up to Williams at Wimbledon that season, "especially in the important moments."

That's just what she did.

"Angelique played really well," Williams said. "She played out of her mind."

Kerber made only five unforced errors the entire match, 19 fewer than Williams. Perhaps more impressive was this: She broke Williams in 4 of 9 service games.

In doing so, Kerber prevented Williams from claiming an eighth title at Wimbledon and 24th from all Grand Slam tournaments , which would have equaled Margaret Court's record. As things stand, Williams holds the mark for the half-century of professional tennis, one ahead of Kerber's idol, Graf.

Williams gave birth only 10 months ago, then was treated for blood clots . She wore special compression leggings as a precaution during Wimbledon, just the fourth tournament of her comeback.

After all the time away, Williams spoke about being impressed with herself for just reaching the final. She also wanted to win, of course.

"To all the moms out there, I was playing for you today -- and I tried," said the 36-year-old American, her voice shaking during the trophy ceremony.

Kerber addressed Williams during the on-court interviews, saying: "You're such an inspiration for everybody, for all of us. I'm sure you will have your next Grand Slam title soon. I'm really, really sure."

Roger Federer beats Rafael Nadal: Miami Open final – as it happened

Roger Federer wins the Miami Open 6-3, 6-4

Both players jog back from their seats to big cheers. Roger shows even the best of us get nerves when he starts the game with a double fault. Then he does something, which separates him from the rest of us - the smoothest of backhands down the line to make it 15-15. Rafa shakes his head and allows himself a rueful smile as a crashing forehand clips the line and brings up match point. Roger’s serve is too good - Rafa can only bat it long and it’s another title for the great man.

Novak DJokovic playing tennis in a Wheelchair - Australian Open 2017

AO draw: Dream start for Fed, tough for Serena

Roger Federer has been handed a dream start for his return to Grand Slam tennis, with the Swiss maestro slated to take on qualifiers in the opening two rounds of Australian Open 2017.
The 35-year-old 17-time Grand Slam champion only played two majors in 2016 and missed the second half of year due to a knee injury.
Seeded 17th, the lowest he has ever been at Melbourne Park, the Swiss star faces a potential third-round meeting with 10th seed Tomas Berdych, and is in the same quarter as top seed Andy Murray and fifth seed Kei Nishikori.
Long-time rival Rafael Nadal, who is also working his way back from injury, will open his tournament against German Florian Mayer.
The Spanish ninth seed could face sixth seed Gael Monfils in the fourth round, and is also in the same quarter as third seed Milos Raonic as he bids to become the first man since Rod Laver to win each Grand Slam at least twice.

Djokovic wins first French Open, 12th major, completes career Slam

Seldom, if ever, has a player made the brilliant look so businesslike. Ask Novak Djokovic to hit a winner for your life and he would most likely land it plumb on the baseline. Have the temerity to subject him to a 34-shot rally and he would be sure to raise you one of 35. He is a compelling human backboard, a bionic man. And fairly soon he could sit alone atop the Mount Olympus of his sport.
Once Roger Federer's mark of 17 major triumphs looked impossible to emulate but Djokovic, all four Grand Slam titles safely banked in his apartment in Monte Carlo, could have done so by the end of next year. The only factor that could plausibly deny him is injury. Ominously, though, the longer Djokovic lasted in his latest eclipse of Andy Murray, the more he acquired the sheen of a man burnished by a month's break in the Seychelles.
