WIMBLEDON, England — For the second straight year, Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final, this time by a score of 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 to win his third title at Wimbledon.
Djokovic has had little problem playing the role of the villain, as long as it has meant winning a Wimbledon championship. He did so a year ago when most of Centre Court was backing Federer, emerging victorious in a five-set thriller.
Before this year’s match, there seemed to be even more sentiment in favor of the 33-year-old Federer and his quest to take sole possession of the lead in career Wimbledon men’s singles titles.
