Clash of the Titans: Djokovic crowned 2014 Wimbledon champion after beating Federer in five-set thriller (to Wills and Kate's delight)
Novak Djokovic has beaten Roger Federer to become Wimbledon champion amid some of the most exciting scenes of the tournament.
Djokovic took the game 6-7 (7/9) 6-4 7-6 (7/4) 5-7 6-4 to win the men's singles title after a gripping and competitive match - his second Wimbledon championship win.
Djokovic served for the match in the fourth set and had a match point on Federer's serve but each time the 32-year-old Swiss player hung on.
The victory will see him take over from Rafael Nadal as world number one on Monday.
He afterwards dedicated it to ‘my future wife and my future baby’, and his first coach Jelena Gencic who died last year. Federer said: 'I can’t believe I made it to five sets, it was looking good there for a while, see you next year.'
