WIMBLEDON, England — Walking through the hallways of the broadcast compound in the hours after his third Wimbledon win, Novak Djokovic paused to sign autographs for a few straggling fans.
It's one of the few things that can halt the world No. 1 and Wimbledon champion these days.
His baseline game at its best on Centre Court on Sunday afternoon in a 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 victory over Roger Federer, the 28-year-old Serbian now has nine Grand Slams to his name and a stranglehold — it appears — against his top rivals.
Is the gap widening for Nole versus the rest of the world?
