Djokovic won his 13th Grand Slam title, and now trails behind Rafael Nadal (17) and Roger Federer (20) among active players.

The Serbian tennis star won his fourth Wimbledon title as he eased past Kevin Anderson in straight sets. Novak Djokovic won 6-2 6-2 7-6 to lift his 13th Grand Slam title.

Djokovic dominated Anderson early in the match, and broke him twice as he clinched the first set 6-2. Kevin Anderson looked visibly exhausted, coming on the back of a marathon six hour match against John Isner.

Kevin Anderson pulled up a fight in the third set, but came short in the tie-breaker as Novak Djokovic held his nerve to win 7-3.

With this win, Novak Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title since over two years. He last won the French Open in 2016, where he beat UK’s Andy Murray.

Here are some of the tweets from the match:
