Djokovic Wins Wimbledon, One Major Win Away From Calendar Grand Slam

Another major held, another major claimed by Novak Djokovic. For those scoring at home (and who isn't?), the Wimbledon 2021 title he won on Sunday at Centre Court marks his 20th career major, tying him, of course, with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the Great Tennis Derby. More important, his 7-6(4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 score win against Italy's Matteo Berrettini in the final gives him his third major of the year, putting him 75% of the way to the Grand Slam, tennis's holy grail achievement. No man has managed it since Rod Laver more than 50 years ago.
