Wimbledon 2022 men’s final as it happened – Novak Djokovic claims 21st major title with four-set win over Nick Kyrgios

Kyrgios produces one of the most casually brilliant winners of the tournament that curves into the corner of Nole’s left-hand wing. Unfortunately for the Aussie that’s as good as it gets as the former world No.1 crunches through a succession of cheap points to nudge the board once more.

Well, that didn’t take long! We are treated to the full repertoire from Nick as he showcases some wonderful defence, real tennis IQ at the net as well as an aggressive second serve ace. That’s the good part. The bad comes with an underarm serve that allows Djoker to make inroads on a 40-0 deficit before unloading a crisp backhand up the line. The Aussie is then too casual when he expects his opponent’s block to land wide and is fortunate that the six-time champion gets his follow-up drop shot all wrong.

It was interesting that Kyrgios elected to receive first. One would expect him to want to try and secure the scoreboard advantage early on in the biggest match of his life.

Djokovic looks equally edgy and opens with a double fault, but Kyrgios can’t make a return at 30-30 and then arrows a backhand long.

Djokovic will serve first in the 2022 men's Wimbledon final.

Kyrgios looked more relaxed during the coin toss. He tends to love the big occasion taking on the GOATs. Let's hope he does rise to it today so we are treated to a memorable battle.

Kyrgios wanders through the corridors of Centre Court and is closely followed by Djokovic as they head for the entrance.

Nick looks nervous! Nole has been there and seen it all before. Will that play a part?

Novak: 'It took five years to say something nice about me, haha."

Nick: "But I defended you when it mattered!"

Novak: "You did, I appreciate that."

“I didn’t go about things great earlier in my career and may have missed my window. I am really proud of the way I have come back out here.”

Nick Kyrgios "has a chance" of creating an upset against top seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic in the final of Wimbledon on Sunday, says tennis legend Mats Wilander.

“He's a big-match player. If you see his career, the best tennis he's played is always against the top guys. That's why we all respect him, because we know what he can come up with. It's going to be [an] interesting match.”

This is the third meeting between the players with Kyrgios having won the previous two encounters.

The 27-year-old Canberra star prevailed 7-6 7-5 in Acapulco back in 2017 and also claimed a 6-4 7-6 triumph at Indian Wells that same year.
