Djokovic is the first player in history to win five consecutive times to Nadal • The Serbian is the most capped player has won the Spanish (12) in his career

Novak Djokovic won his first Wimbledon and third Grand Slam of his career to break in the final to Rafael Nadal in four sets. The Serb, new world number 1, accumulated 26 titles to his credit, only eight this season.

Djokovic confirma su condición del nuevo #1 del mundo tras ganar el título del Grand Slam de Wimbledon The Centre Court of the All England Tennis Club was again the scene the duel between the two best players of the moment. After the Serbian victories in the finals of Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Rome, had wanted to see Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic with a Grand Slam title at stake and the show did not disappoint. The number 1 starter (Djokovic) won at # 1 Outgoing (Nadal) by an aggregate score of 6-4, 6-1, 1-6 and 6-3 after two hours and veinticoho minutes of play, extending their experience to what far this season to 48 wins and one one loss (Roland Garros semifinals to Roger Federer). The new rivalry in tennis is a fact. Nadal and Djokovic have met three of the four Grand Slam in eight of the nine Masters 1000, Masters Cup, Davis Cup and Olympics. Chapter 28 of this tale was read at Wimbledon.

Both players jumped on the green ready to assert their game plan. Rafa opted for a slow game, in which his rival thought each point. Novak preferred print speeds over the pace of the game. The first games were used to test, meeting with each player their service credit. So when it was 'hot' in the set, where Rafa, 5-4, 30-0 and serve, committed two straight unforced errors that would end the sentence to yield the set. Djokovic, unpolished, was put forward in the light. Box hailed by overly expressive (Vadj Marion coach, his trainer Milan Amanovic, psychologist Cetojevic Igor, his girlfriend Jelena Ristic, his parents and siblings), Djokovic took the positive momentum to expand to five games signed in favor of a row. The second act showed a near-perfect tennis, almost without mistakes, moving his opponent at his mercy, by running the ball a lot with both his right and his backhand, making copies of an incredible confidence. Soon the Balkans to sign up the second set, disguised as a willing to attack the pirate ship Rahman encundia ever found.

Nadal was up only once in the final two sets for his entire career (Madrid 2005 to Ivan Ljubicic), but has taught us to dream impossible comebacks. The Spaniard, his pride wounded, began to hit the ball harder, from dominant to dominant, getting on the party train taking advantage of mistakes by a rival who seemed to GET WITH doubts. With gesture brow and knowing the quality of Rafa, Djokovic found himself first on the ropes after losing the third set. It could be worse for Serbia if Nadal had taken the ball break he had in the beginning of the fourth. Nole was then returned to appeal to a great service. He climbed to the network, played dead and turned parallel to `plug 'the party. In a last start of courage, Nadal was able to recover the disadvantage acquired, but their errors were again the Djoko who returned to `'the opportunity to fasten the party and hence the title. Serbia made no mistake this time, summoning an improved version of himself.

While in the cathedral rang the aplasusos to glorify the new Wimbledon champion, Djokovic began its `show 'more emotional: reflection squatting, lying on the green holding, hand on his chest, I greet her box full of praise for Nadal kisses Cup for the first time to taste in his career. What better way to celebrate its new status as number 1! It is the first Serbian Grand Slam wins out of Australia's borders (he won in Melbourne in 2008 and 2010), but surely not the last. Rafa farewell to London with the bitter feeling of having been close, very close, but today came across a great player who deserved the award reached. Two numbers are 1, the new rivalry in the sport ...

It all seemed plain sailing for Rafa, he returned to take advantage of the scoring in the opening game of the third set, but Fish is 'Top ten' for something and still had things to say. Nainkin David's pupil was not prepared to throw in the towel early and took advantage of Nadal went through a time gaps in your game (the only one but that Rafa can put in this match) to start the comeback. Supported by 80% effective with his first serve with a forehand into acceleration that ran more than ever about the English green and up to the network for display as an extraordinary voleador, Fish scored the third set and ran the rumor by steps of the court.

The audience had already seen to suffer Bernard Tomic Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer fell to Jo-Wilfred Tsonga. The doors to a new surprise was open. However, only to see the faces habvía quiet Toni Nadal and Carlos Costa in the box of Spanish to know that the Spaniard would soon return to their routine. It was. It was not just four games to back Rafa right to punish the Fish and sign a break that will pave the way to the semifinals. A road that ran through the hard way that winning the public rose from their seats and undermined the morale of a combustible Fish, which While trying to the end ran out of prizes. Rafa finally was able to raise his arms to heaven in London, now respected as far as rainfall is concerned.

His next opponent will be on the green local hero London, one Andy Murray won in three sets to Feliciano Lopez.

"I have to get my best tennis confront him. I think it's a very complete player. It is difficult to predict how this round goes to grass. "The world No. 1 said that his next opponent is a player" to finish among the top five, "and if not just between those positions this season, will do next." Your level is to finish among the top five. If it is higher in the rankings is because he has been injured. Before injury, Del Potro was already among the top five, "he added.

Rafael Nadal: Tengo que sacar mi mejor tenis para enfrentarme a Juan Martín Del Potro The Double Wimbledon champion has brought forth all the games this year in just three sets. The last one before the Luxembourg Gilles Muller, seemed like a game "ugly" as the 2005, when both were faced with defeat to Nadal. "The 2005 was a game similar to today's ugly games. Do not you can pass well in these games because you're on the limit all the time," said the Spaniard. However, he said the key to their success this afternoon suffered shipwreck against six years ago. "Today my serve is more complete. The important thing is to get to the tiebreak," said the Spaniard, who tests the great concentration which earned him to get ahead in the tie were the only three unforced errors committed in the party. "There has been a lot of play. You could not make many mistakes. I think I played very well mentally. I have not had nearly options, and the first I've had, I used" said.

Nadal acknowledged, however, he had been "a tad nervous during the game on how to return the serve" which has its opponents. Still, "I played the whole game with my first serve, which means he was very focused," he added. Concerning the fact of playing on track 1 and not in the All England Club Central, why yesterday had to be suspended by rain You do not have the retractable roof, his match against Muller, Nadal confirmed that "nothing different" from one to another. "I've played all the tracks here. The power is always more special," Nadal continued, he did not protest at all having been moved to the other track, less capacity and no possibility of deploying a retractable roof.

Nadal, who had felt yesterday at the kickoff "legs a little more tired than usual (perhaps due to rain)," said this morning was much better and the game resumed more rested, but still feeling some discomfort, something that does not stop him from playing at the highest level, quiet. Located and in the second round, Nadal was asked about his options in defending the title a year in which the "top 4" seems stronger than ever. "It seems like the best are playing well, yes, but every day is different. It is difficult to predict anything," said manacorense, whose only advantage in the tournament considered to be the fact that "perhaps there are not many lefties."

In minds of all Roger Federer always comes up when talking about possible Wimbledon champion Federer has been going since six titles. Therefore, they often respond Nadal looks in their press conferences which will be the best way of playing on this grass Federer. And, of course, in their responses ensures that the volley is not what he can help: "I am very far from the volley from Federer. I can go to the net, I have a bad volley.
