Djokovic Beats Roger Federer in dramatic Wimbledon Final for Second Successive Year

Djokovic won 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 and 6-3 and will now earn a cool £1.88 million for his victory. Federer takes home £940,000 as runner-up.
The Serbian 28-year-old soared to victory for the second year running following a four-set thriller, which was watched on by a star-studded crowd, including Pippa Middleton, Benedict Cumberbatch and Naomi Campbell.

Speaking after his victory, Djokovic told the crowd that it had been a 'honour' and 'privilege' to play against Federer - and that he ate the grass due to a pact he made with himself as a child, when he dreamt of winning the title.
He said: 'It tastes very, very good this year - I don't know what the groundspeople have done but they have done a great job.
'It's a little tradition - as a kid I was really dreaming of winning Wimbledon, so as every child you dream to do something crazy when you actually achieve it, if you achieve it and that was one of the things.'

It was a celebrity-packed crowd. Sherlock star Cumberbatch, 38, was joined by his father Timothy, while 54-year-old Grant sat with TV executive Anna Eberstein, the mother of one of his three children.

Oscar nominee Cooper, 40, was in the exclusive area after previously sitting with Federer's camp during the tournament. Former Wimbledon winners Bjorn Borg, Chrissie Evert and Rod Laver were also Royal Box guests.



House of Commons speaker John Bercow did not try to hide his support, as he arrived at the All England Club sporting a Roger Federer baseball cap.
Actresses Kate Winslet, Helena Bonham Carter and Kristin Scott Thomas were spotted watching the final on Centre Court. Veteran actor Sir John Hurt, who recently said he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, was also among the crowd.

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, Italian football World Cup winner Alessandro Del Piero, actor Clive Owen and Vogue fashion magazine editor Anna Wintour were also watching on Centre Court.
The Duchess of Cambridge's sister Pippa Middleton and supermodel Naomi Campbell were also spotted at the All England Club.
