WIMBLEDON, England — After more than two years without a Grand Slam title, Novak Djokovic reclaimed a central place in men’s tennis on Sunday by beating Kevin Anderson, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (3), to win Wimbledon for the fourth time.
Ousted by Sam Querrey in the third round here in 2016 and by pain in his right elbow in the fourth round in 2017, Djokovic made it to the finish line this year at the All England Club, even if he did so the hard way.
Djokovic, 31, defeated Anderson without getting a customary day of rest before the match.
