Mixed Doubles Final Wimbledon

Federer's first set. First break of the match.

That is a brilliant response to losing the first set.

That is brilliant work from Novak Djokovic. Two sets to one.

It is the break and Djokovic is ahead in the fourth set. And Federer

has broken back. It's long, it is a break, it is four

games in a row. It's out. It's five games in a row.

Federer has saved the match point and are going to distance. It's

away. Championship point. It's Djokovic who claims this

classic. That was the story of the match, it

was a final that promised so much and it did not disappoint. Five

thrilling set, Djokovic having a championship point in the fourth

set, having to go the distance because of feasted brilliance, he

has to dig deep. His body was letting him down but he found way to

win, and this victory is so sweet for Djokovic who has lost five of

his last six Grand Slam final, including the last three and very,

very emotional on court. Victory really did taste good. Delight in

the camp, the Djokovic camp. His second Wimbledon title to the won he

one in 2011. -- to the one he won in 2011.

Emotional scenes as he went to greet his team. Climbing up, but it is not

Pat Cashesque, they have a gate to go through so they don't have too

many risks getting to their team. The physio, all of his friends and

family in the box, and they know how much this meant to Novak Djokovic.

He has been so close in the Grand Slams. He had such an outstanding

year in 2011, and a big hug for coach Boris Becker, who has

encouraged him to come forward, but with the success there is

disappointment, and for Roger, who gave his all, it wasn't to be

history, it wasn't to be an eighth Wimbledon title for Roger, but it

was a match that we will all remember. So Novak comes back on

court, he collects his trophy, this is what he has to say to me

afterwards. This is a very emotional time, isn't

it? Yes. Yes. First of all, I want to congratulate Roger for a great

tournament and great fight today. It was a great match to be part of.

He is a magnificent champion and a great example of a great athlete and

role model for many kids, so I respect your career, and everything

you have done, and thank you for letting me win today.

LAUGHTER. APPLAUSE

You were 5-2 up, championship point, how did you turn it round? Well, I

was hoping that Roger was goes to miss the first serve, but that

didn't happen, and it rarely happens, and you know, that is why

he, he has 17 Grand Slams, and he has been the most successful player

ever, because in important moments he comes up with his best shots and

top game, and of course, after dropping a fourth set, it wasn't

easy to regroup, and entirely compose myself and find the

necessary energy to win the fifth. I don't know how I managed to do it,

and this is the tournament that I always dreamed of winning, this is

the best tournament in the world, the most valuable one. This is the

first tennis match that... APPLAUSE

Really. The first tennis match that I seen over in my life when I was

five-year-old was Wimbledon, and that stuck to my mind, to be able to

compete in such a high level, I am so grateful for this opportunity,

and to be able to hold this trophy, I dedicate it to a few people

please, if you have time. First of all, I would like to dedicate it to

my future wife, and our future baby. APPLAUSE

I am going to become a father soon, so I am still preparing for that,

and it's a great joy in life, and I would like to dedicate to it my

family, my parent, my brothers, and all the family, and my team, of

course, for sacrificing a lot of their free time, lives, in order for

me to live the dream and be where I am at this moment. And then, last

but not least I would like to dedicate this title to my first

coach, that taught me all the basics of tennis shots and behaviour and

everything I know about tennis, Jelena Gencic, she passed away last

year and this is for her. Ladies and gentlemen, the Wimbledon

champion, Novak Djokovic. Well a very emotional Novak

Djokovic, taking a taste of the Centre Court, as a memento, and

talking so passionately about his first coach, Jelena Gencic, who made

him fall in love with the game, and gave him the belief to become a

Wimbledon champion, and he has done it for the second time, and these

were the scenes on the balcony on the members' balcony, showing all

the fans that have been on the hill and round Wimbledon, who didn't have

a play on -- place on Centre Court. They wanted to be here to see the

Wimbledon champion crowned. This is one of the lovely traditions here at

the tournament, so everyone can get a picture of the Wimbledon champion.

And it will be lovely memory for Novak Djokovic, as well. Jimmy and

Tim are still with me. He was talking about his future wife and

expecting the baby. It is just as well she wasn't here, that final

would have been a worry. A bit early. It was emotional and talking

about his first coach. Everyone has a first coach that, you know, made

them the player they become. Well, you get round the game, and you hit

a few balls and you learn a bit, but to have somebody there is there to

bring you out of your shell and to get you to be part of what you would

eventually like to do, that is pretty special and for him to

remember her, and to give her the credit, the credit starts from the

beginning, he is right, and she deserves that, but he is the one

that has to come out and do all of that, and, and along the way, with

her guidance, he has turned into now a two time Wimbledon champion, that

is pretty cool. Are used to hit with you when you were ten, but I don't

think you are going to say much to me! Wonderful performance from Novak

Djokovic, such guts to lose a Championship point, 5-2 up. It

looked like he was cruising through the set and he had to dig deep and

the body was was breaking down. The key word he used was regroup and at

the end of the fourth set, you felt that Federer had the momentum and

those early service games for Djokovic, in the fifth, were so

important, because he had to stem the tide. He has to keep his nose in

front. That is where he still had the belief, the courage and the

conviction to keep being aggressive, because he knew if he was going to

keep the ball in the court, Federer was going to go for more and more,

so those early stages in the fifth were massive for Djokovic, and you

know, then when we got his opportunity in the fifth he couldn't

afford to let go again, there will be a massive sense of leaf, I am

sure, that he finally got over the finish line, but huge satisfaction

given his history in the last six Grand Slam final, losing five of

them, losing his last three, it is an incredible achieve: That could

have been very easy for Djokovic to fade away there. You know, to say

oh, everything is against me now, and I was there, I was just right at

the finish line and then, you know, now I just can't take any more,

because Roger certainly did raise game at that time. He has nothing to

lose and he just sunk everything in to winning that fourth set, and you

know, like Tim said, the way he came out, and started, that, you know,

there was some very tedious moment there's that could have, that really

put that fifth set away from him, and it was pretty good. Age is just

a number and Roger is 32. He proved best of five sets he was still

giving his all at the end. He said I will be back next year and you know

he will be. He will compete for the title again. Most definitely. I

still feel this is his best surface on the hard surface and clay,

against the best player, that is a bigger challenge, but because he is

so offensive and he still serves so well, on grass, I really do think he

can have an impact for many more years and you look at previous

champions, and you know, aggressive made US open final when he was 35.

And there is no reason why Roger, as long as he stays fit and healthy he

has the passion, there is no reason he can't play for a few more year,

and you know, I think with should encourage him, and enjoy him while

he is here, because he is one of our greatest champions. Lay off the age!

But it is such, athletes are very quick to say it is time for you to

retire, but I mean, I walk round the ground here, there is a lot of

managers and photographer, and a lot of sports reporter, that have been

here way before I even started, so nobody says anything to them! So,

you have to lay off a guy with age, he loves the game and shows the

passion, so stay out there as long as you can. As you did. As long as

you can play to a certain level, and believe me, Roger is not going to

stay round if he doesn't think he can compete. He is not satisfied, he

is at number three, he is not satisfied with that. He wants to be

number one, if he can't, he will know when he go. You know he will

deliver. Djokovic back to number one, how many more? The era is

changing, we have seen Raonic and Dimitrov, Andy Murray will hopefully

find his form. That is the beauty of the equation, when we were

commentating on theches match, it is very difficult to get a feel for

what is going to happen next. When you reflect on the men's game, we

have had this dominant for four for so long, a couple of monthsing a, if

you asked me that question about who is the next big star, there were a

few question mark, can Dimitrov breakthrough, is it Raonic,

Nishikori, and they have stepped up to the plate. You have a young guy

like Kyrgios, who is only 19, comes on to the Centre Court for the first

time, you know, those are the stars of the future, and I think, it is a

great combination, we have got the established guys who have been round

for a long time, but you have the guys that are trying to knock them

out of the way and claim the biggest titles. Before I say thank you for

joining, it has been nice to be back, you enjoyed it? Great to be

back and great to be part of such an unbelievable final, which Wimbledon

certainly deserves. It was a privilege to watch it. Thank you

both. We still have one more final to go on Centre Court, buzz these

are the people, and that I have been queueing all day and standing, they

are waiting because they know the champion will come out on to the

members lawn and the players lawn, with the trovy, he is going to take

it to a few little venues round the All England Club, so they will get

another photo toe of the champion and a great memory of the day that

produced a classic final. The men's champion has been crowned but it is

time for the mixed doubles final, and this is Max Mirnyi and Chan

Hao-ching. They are up against Nenad Zimonjic and Sam Stosur. Let us join

our commentators. It looked as if it was it was going

to be an even match on paper and that is the way it is turning out.

And a good one too. Chan Hao-ching, just 22, much the youngest. Won at

Eastbourne with her sister just three weeks' ago.

Up against multiple Grand Slam winners and her partner a Grand Slam

winner as well. Yes with the trophy laden players

round her, you might think that Chan, who is so inexperienced at

this level, might look the odd one out. I haven't seen it so far. Has

settled really well here. Stosur used to be the world's best

doubles player. Doesn't may quite so much now.

-- play. Transferred to singles round four, five years ago, and was

pretty much an immediate success, winning in 2011.

The US Open, beating Serena in that amazing final.

Chan, who has broken three times in the semifinal, they had a good win

against the number five seeds, the reigning champions, she served out

there and she has served so far pretty well in this match.

Helped out by her partner Max Mirnyi who is 37 years of aim today, so

wonder if he will be getting a trophy as a present?

It is her third time at Wimbledon this year. She hadn't won a match

until she started the mix this year. -- mixed this year.

So is Mirnyi going to change his position? Yes, he is.

It wasn't the worst return. He did very well. Stretching out those long

arms. Mirnyi very much the father figure

in this relationship, and he has been through his career, he won the

US Open with Serena Williams, back in 1998, trying to work out how old

Serena would have been, that is 16 years ago, so 16. 16, 17. Then won

with Azarenka when she was a teenager, so he does a very good job

of schooling: The fact that Chan has settled so well, probably got a

difficult environment to come on to with all the energy being sucked out

of this Centre Court after such a dramatic men's final, so difficult

to come on and, in this environment, but he has literally walked her

through every point and has done very well protecting her service

game, which I think is the vulnerable part of their team.

No break so far, no break points. Been pretty comfortable for the

server. Stosur was outstanding in the

semifinal. Gaia Servadioed that well, consistently through the

match. -- served that well.

Stosur and Zimonjic have been more creative in their service game,

pretty standard formation, but it hasn't been any less effective than

their opponents today. Again Mirnyi at the net.

He is going to take everything he can, and try and keep the heat off

Chan, and she just has a simple role, make a decent return, and he

has got that air, that he will take care of the rest.

That is how good she was, virtually through the match yesterday.

So eight games whistling by. Just 19 minutes. It looked a good idea that

lob return. Until she hit that forehand. I am amazed there is

anything left of this court for them to play on. They are doing well.

Slightly mishit by Chan, but it did the job.

Well, you always go at the woman in mixed as often as possible, and Chan

need to put her hard hat on here, because they will be going for her.

Stosur just a little frustrated she couldn't make more of that.

A good partnership. A clinical put away from the Australian. They have

struggle odd get it down at the service feet. You can see what

happens you have to hit up. It is usually a fairly straightforward.

Stosur is the strongest woman out here and that could be a major

factor in this final. Not quite at the end. They certainly

peppered it: This is where Mirnyi and Chan are going to have to get

creative. That ball isn't going anywhere. Chan, not because she is a

good player, but because she is the woman. That is what you do. And that

is -- and they have got creative. Oh, Zimonjic peppering both of them.

Now then, the first break point of the match. And unlikely as it may

seem, it is on the Mirnyi serve. A wonderful set up. Terrific stuff.

Zimonjic and Stosur did play in one other tournament, that was back in

2010 at Wimbledon. They were beaten in the third round and haven't

played together since. They have played with other partners, with

varying success. It seems random mixed doubles how a partnership is

picked. It is. Some of the players that play each other don't speak to

each other, they might just do it on social media or might happen to be

standing outside the referee's office, and just bump into, you

know, someone and think let's play. It is utterly random. Back in his

day, think, there was a long queue, wasn't there for his services on the

mixed doubles court. So it is extraordinary that Mirnyi,

the biggest serve of them all serve has had his service broken, and

there is a chance with Zimonjic serving for the first set.

-- the biggest server of them all. Super switch up there from Zimonjic.

It might seem change that Mirnyi was the one that was broken but you need

so much help from your partner at the net, just to catch the eye of

the returner to take the ball off you from time to time.

I think we are just seeing Stosur being the stronger woman out there,

having an input. She can take more off Zimonjic.

Again the finesse from Zimonjic, a big finish from Stosur. So here are

three set points for the number 15 seeds.

No problem, first set took 26 minutes, six games to four.

SUE BARKER: With the four great doubles players on court I am sure

this match will go on, great quality on centre, but there was amazing

quality earlier on with the men's final. I promised to be something

special and it was more than that. Roger Federer against Novak

Djokovic. It went the distance, five thrilling sets and victory for Novak

Djokovic, delight by his camp and coach Boris Becker, disappointing

for Roger Federer, who failed to lift his eighth Wimbledon final.

Lock at Djokovic's face. His second Wimbledon Championship. Now back we

go to centre. In the end, the one break point did

the job for Zimonjic and Stosur, taking their chance. Just checking

the time but obviously here to support Stosur. Not that she needs

much support at the moment. Yes, it could be a late champions

ball in London. -- Champions' Ball in London. So it

is the birthday boy, Max Mirnyi to serve.

Super rally. Great pick up from Zimonjic.

On the volley, but really clever shot from Mirnyi. Dangerous serving

to the Stosur forehand. Staying back. He is six foot five,

his younger brother, Peter, is six foot seven. Plays basketball, not

surprisingly. far as serving is concerned, but the

man will start. Every time, every time. There is not a lot in the men,

Zimonjic and Mirnyi. Both with terrific records, two of the finest

doubles players. Stoves are, as well, has been right up there. --

Stosur. You wonder when Zimonjic will hang

up his racket, he is coming up to 40 now.

$7 million banked. Not for awhile if he keeps playing like this. Surely

the role of the baddie in the Bond movie is waiting for him. He does

look sinister, it all changes when he smiles, but he does have a

sinister look about him. The same with Mirnyi. You might be onto

something here. Stosur with a helping hand at the

net. It is slowly starting to fill up now. Centre Court, a couple of

thousand, maybe a few more. Look at that from Stosur.

Getting more and more dominant at the net, Stosur. I wonder, singles

has been so prominent over the last few years, originally a doubles

player, if she might become full circle and if doubles might start to

take more of her attention and time over the next two years. -- few

years. Stosur without a coach at the

moment. She plays the last quarter of last season without a coach. To

be honest, played some of the best tennis we have seen from her in a

few years. Played with equality and freedom. -- quality.

Here they come again, Zimonjic and Stosur. Now the pressure really is

on Chan. Well done. He was looking forward

down the line and had to change direction very rapidly.

It was not the cleanest of hits, but he will take it.

Yes, that was too good. Must have been tempting to cross. Zimonjic was

waiting for him to do so. This was a good fake from Mirnyi, held his

ground. Third break point. They reacted well to the net call.

As ever, as she did yesterday, Chan under pressure, comes up with the

goods. Chan and Mirnyi need to work so hard, the Monica and Stosur

making three quarters of their returns. -- Zimonjic and Stosur.

Oh, foot fault. First of the match. It gives a fourth break point to the

Australian and the Serbian. Mirnyi covering again. He is like a

giant octopus at the net. I love the way that he times these

interceptions so well, we very rarely see him go to early. So

decisive when he gets involved. No offence and no harm done, a super

rally from all four players involved in that. Just have a look at this

from Zimonjic, you deliberately hit down at the feet. You do not always

see that, very sporting of him. Fifth break point.

Really ripped back to return. The danger is if Stosur got onto the

forehand that might happen. This is fascinating, what you

mentioned about Stosur coming full circle. That could be the case. Her

singles ranking is beginning to drop. Is it going to drop

consistently? I am not sure, but there is a chance it might. Whisper

it quietly, 30 years of age. She was a fantastic doubles player, her and

Lisa Raymond cleared up. There was a while when they were virtually

unbeatable. It is very rare for a top doubles player, she was ranked

30 or 40 in singles. She had quite a serious illness and it forced her to

re-evaluate her career. She had that awful lines disease. Came back and

focused on the singles, it is rare for somebody to be a top doubles

Pope player to become a top single player. She won the US Open. It

could so easily have been two, the Roland Garros final. She played so

well. And then did not really show up.

UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, a reminder, please do not use

flashlight photography. Stosur got lucky, a chronic mishit,

she could not have placed it much better, right in the opposite

corner. She does shank a few, but it is a good day when they drop in.

Zimonjic went early. Chan alert to that. Mirnyi almost trying to

protect Chan, there is no sense of that from Zimonjic. He has an equal

partner out there in Stosur. From 40-0 to 4030. She will be a top

doubles player in a few years, Chan. -- 40-30. Coached by her father, who

is watching. A couple of mistakes from Zimonjic

and this could get interesting. There is her father. How proud he

must be. His daughter playing in the final here at Wimbledon.

No, Zimonjic did not quite do enough. Stosur should have made

that. All of a sudden it is break point. Just looking down the court

at Stosur. Heron her partner in long discussions, signed of a serious

planning meeting for the first time. -- her and her partner.

It has not been his best game, Zimonjic, but wasn't he amazing

there? To get that back. When you get towards your 40s your reactions

are supposed to go a little, nobody has told Nenad that. Fabulous. I

think he has made amends in this game.

Chan blasting it back on the backhand of Stosur.

Yes. It was a tricky one, testing him, it must've been an inch over

the of the net. Stosur needing a first serve here, they have slightly

dropped off in this game. She comes up with the goods there

and they extend the lead, three games in a row. That was a really

important game for Stosur and Zimonjic, they were in great

momentum and were just in danger of losing it.

And Prior Zimonjic and Stosur challenging the call. -- UMPIRE:

Zimonjic and Stosur. And in. Two challenges remaining four Zimonjic

and Stosur. A rifle shot, that return from

Zimonjic. A clever serve will stop -- a clever

serve the danger that your male pride

might be hurt. Mirnyi went back to Chan and

congratulated her. they are looking in good shape. So

good to see Max Mirnyi still out here, he is one of the great success

stories from his country. He was coached by his father from the age

of six, but there was not a lot of infrastructure with the break-up of

the Soviet Union. He came to the United States and was dispatched

when he was 14 or 16 to the Academy. He really had to make his own way,

one of the first in his generation to do that. He has put together an

incredible career and very much a national hero back home. He was

president of the tennis Federation at one point. I think he found it

quite own risk, quite a big responsibility, but he has put his

back into encouraging the young juniors and helping tennis in that

country. He is a pretty big deal back home. It is great to still see

him out here. And he has banked some $11 million,

mostly in doubles. So richly rewarded.

Oh no. She waited to see if there would be a commitment the other side

of the net, waited too long. Always moving, just got it right.

There was a gap down there, but they are beginning to run out of time

now. To make their repast. UMPIRE: New balls, please. They are

two games away. Zimonjic has won titles here, the Men's Doubles with

Daniel Nestor in 2008 and 2009. And Stosur won the mixed here with Bob

Bryan. It suddenly got pretty dark here but

Stosur is seeing it well. Stosur firing it back. These are

critical times now, for Chan and Mirnyi. Planning meetings has gone

to crisis meeting. APPLAUSE

These two are doing a great job of keeping the ball away from Mirnyi.

It would always be the key out here. One break in each set so far.

Yes, brilliant play from Samantha Stosur. A lovely shot. Mirnyi caught

the line it went, 5-2. She's playing mighty well. Both of

them, I have two say, have returned. It has been outstanding,

the amount of returns and high-quality returns they have put

in court. They have set each other up, Zimonjic has put it away after

Stosur set it up. They have gelled beautifully, that is experience.

They have done so much winning on the doubles court, so easy for them

to combine, almost as a scratch partnership.

A mixture up top, back down below, consistent, extraordinary tennis

from Zimonjic and Stosur. It is Stosur. The most important and

effective player serving for the championship.

This performance from these two has been about doing the simple things,

they have only lost four points behind their first serve in the

entire match. That will take you a long way.

Didn't really deserve it. Off the frame of the racket.

It has been outstandingly effective, and here are two championship

points. For once, you missed one. Just out

of his reach. -- he missed one. APPLAUSE

UMPIRE: Game, set and match. Zimonjic-Stosur four. To be honest,

Mirnyi and Chan were never really in it when a break came at the end of

the first set. It took just 56 minutes. Zimonjic and Stosur, the

number 15 seeds are the Mixed Doubles champions here at Wimbledon.

SUE BARKER: The champions are Zimonjic and Stosur. They are the

champions, and they will be going up to get their trophy, we will see

that in a little bit. Joining me in the studio and thoroughly enjoying

that match point is the Wimbledon champion, Novak Djokovic. You loved

watching that. Yes, I am proud of him, very happy for him, use my very

good friend for many years. He comes from the same country. -- he is my

very good friend. It is a great privilege to win two trophies for

Serbia in a matter of hours. As it sunk in? Getting there. -- has it. I

just got off the court a fewer hours ago. Tried to celebrate with the

team, the people close to me, close to my heart, who have been a great

support on this road. As I was saying before, I will say it again,

this is the tournament I always dream double winning. It never gets

boring, winning Wimbledon, that is the sure. Winning in 2011 is the

highlight of my career. This win over Roger in five sets is probably

the best Grand Slam final I have ever played in my life. I overcame a

lot of challenges in my life, and in my tennis career in the last two

years. That is why I had tears of joy in the end, that is why I was

very emotional. To rewind the memories from those two years and

what we have been through as a team will stop what was the worst over

the last two years? There are some private things I went through that I

would not talk about now, but it was not easy. Everyone has issues, so

you have two understand how to deal with them, how to grow as a person,

how to strengthen your character. And managed to win Grand Slams. You

cannot separate yourself as a professional tennis player and as a

person, it is all the same. You are the same person that walks on the

court. If your mind is not clear, you will not be able to compete at

such a high level. Roger, 17 time grand slam champion, won so many

times at Wimbledon. He is never going to drop the level. That is why

he has been a great champion and admired by so many people for so

many years. The only way to win against him was to try to find that

inner strength, and, and not get carried away by emotion, even though

I had plenty of opportunities to kind of fade away, and lose the

concentration, but I haven't, and it has been an incredible match to be

part of, and I am very proud of what I have achieved and just very glad

to win I It was a privilege to us to watch it. In that fifth shot, so

many dominants shots. Roger was playing so well. We have picked out

a few, because the tennis, the standard got better as the drama

unfolded. That is exactly. We pushed each other to the limit, and we had

a lot of great points from the baseline, and I knew he was going to

take his chances when he was down, a break when I was serving for the

match, I mean, I, the only way that, that he could come back, is was

being aggressive, that is what he has done, he came to the net, he

served precisely, he used the court very well. That is why he has been

there for so many years and winning the titles so many times. I

understand what it takes, you know, to be a Wimbledon champion, to be a

Grand Slam champion, that is why I respect him and his achievements,

that is why I am extra proud of what I have done today. When you look at

his serving stats it was incredible you found the way to break him and

break him down, what was going through your mind on that last match

point? Well, to be honest in the last match point I wasn't really

thinking of the importance of the point, because I have had so many

opportunities to win the match beforehand, match point in the

fourth set, serving for the match, being a break up a few times, some

very close, close rallies, and he came up with some great shots, so I

just told myself I will focus at one point at a time, being the present

moment. Is that easy to do? Not easy at all, not easy at all. In those

moments, when of course the result is, can go either way, really and

when you are playing fifth set against one of your rivals, and

against a multiple champion, you know that the only way to try to win

it, win against him is to stamen tally strong, because that is what

he does the best. Big celebrations here, a wonderful embrace with you

and Roger, you knew you had taken part in such an incredible match.

Then you celebrate and then you eat the grass. Again! Again. It just

came to me. I just wanted to remind myself of how it tastes. Victory

tastes very sweet It has been three year since I won it the first time

in 2011, so it, it is so special, really, to be on the Centre Court to

play the finals of the biggest event in the world, the most watched

tennis match in the world, is the Wimbledon final, and boy, we had, we

had the great fantastic quality tennis in the finals and hopefully

all the people enjoyed. This is the embrace with my team, because it's a

team victory in tend, really. I know I am by myself on the court, but I

appreciate and I try to show my appreciation for everything they are

doing for me, and because all of them, they have their all, they are

showing their support, day in, day out, and without them, this wouldn't

be possible. Boris Becker joined in and I think he was enjoying it adds

much as some of his Wimbledon triumphs. It meant a lot to him I am

sorry Marion wasn't able to see this match live, but we are in touch

every single day, and trying to, we talked about this match yesterday,

and today, you know, trying to prepare as best we can. Marion has

been working closely with Boris r and I am just very glad, relieved to

win a Grand Slam with Boris as well, because there is many people who

doubted that, but I am sure this, this is a great combination. We miss

him from the BBC commentary team but he has done a great job. This is a

lovely moment. It is incredible. So many people that also were there and

took pictures on the balcony, they were outside and didn't have a

ticket to come to watch the match on the Centre Court. I know those

people, especially are, the tennis, the true tennis fan, and the ones

who have a passion for this sport, and appreciate the athletes, and

that is why it was, of course, I was very glad to be able to share this

moment with them. And it was lovely. We have been watching your way on

your up here, signing, I don't know how many tennis balls you have

signed. This is for the fan, I think you must have got through well over

one hundred. It was close to 50. I don't know to be honest. I wasn't

counting. This is lovely. So many kids as well. Inspiration to give

kids. As I was saying, there were many who couldn't get a ticket to

watch on the Centre Court. Those people paid a ticket to come to

watch you play, to just, you know, support and admire admire what you

do, so of course, from, for me it is a pleasure to perform in front of

them and to give them back as much of the love and support as I can.

And that little boy on his dad's shoulders. He loved that. He had a

very good catch. He will be a champion of the future. You have

talked about winning this, your seventh Grand Slam and getting your

hands, you talked about the difficulty. Not talking about off

court but on court. The close finals you have had, and missed out on,

that this is probably makes it sweeter. Exactly. That is the reason

why this victory meant so much to me. First of all because it was

against the great rival; against a player in terrific form, in his

court, and court that he, you know, he was dominating for so many years,

and also considering the fact that I have lost last three out of four

Grand Slam finals, and you know, I would lie if I say, you know it is

not in my mind, I started playing a bit with my confidence, and I had

some doubts but I managed to overcome all these issues, of course

all the people helped me and tried to talk to me, but I was the one who

who found the way. Today was a huge, huge test, and the mental challenge,

and we were pushing each other to the limit, and I could not drop

concentration for a single bit throughout the whole match in order

to win it, so that is why, I think, this win is extra special. It was an

absolute joy to watch. Congratulations, I will let you go

now. Seven Grand Slam, two here and many more to come I am sure. It was

a privilege to watch it. So we have still got some presentations to go

to before we go off the air, but first let us look back at the last

two weeks here at Wimbledon 14. Welcome to Wimbledon 2014.

There is something magical about unmistakable about the sound of

summer. Wimbledon's headline act Andy

Murray, the reigning champion, the fist week was as easy as well...

# ABc # Andy was top dog week one. Most of

the time at least. Andy Murray, please, on your way out can you give

John a nudge in the corridor. Murray and Bartoli retired so no title

defence for her but she was a tearful supporting act as Sabine

Lisicki, who she beat in the final last year, took Centre Court stage

instead. Lightning almost struck twice for

Rafael Nadal against Rosol who beat the Spaniard two years ago, and had

a point for a two sets to love lead this time, until Rafa said

# Guess who's back # Back again... #

# I'm free... The bigger they are the harder they fall

# Freefalling # Second seed Li Na was quickly

felled. Novak was down but not out. Serena went flying in doubles, but

was safe for now. Sister Venus was sent tumbling from

a collision of champions by Petra Kvitova. Then came the biggest

shock, the biggest fall. There was no-one to catch her this time.

Serena's troubles doubled when illness struck. It's embarrassing.

This is ridiculous. An astonishing and worrying end to her

championships. We have never seen the likes before.

# I am beautiful no matter they say #

Fabio Fognini opened his set with a few familiar strains of his troubled

soul. Deep down, he just wants to be loved. Just some flat out Italian

love. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga unusually played

every day Monday to Friday in the first week. It all became a bit 9 to

5 for the Frenchman. # Work to nine-to-five... #

His third round victim was Jimmy. Maybe next year. It was more five to

nine for Thomas Berdych # Stop in the name of love. #

He was begging the umpire to stop the show against Cilic but 9.38 he

was out after the latest none roof finish at Wimbledon.

Talk about intense! Yet bigger names would be shocked and ousted. Nick

Kyrgios got his Teenage Kicks by rocking out Centre Court and

knocking out Rafa, a huge sensation. Maria Sharapova crashed to Kerber

leaving her other half to take over lead vocals.

# I can do it. # Grigor Dimitrov a support act no

more. Britain's historic hero shown to be only human.

# I'm only human # And I'm only human

# And I crash and I break down. # Time for the chart countdown. In at

number five, shut up your face by Wawrinka a and Feliciano Lopez.

Up to number four Milos Raonic with Boom, Boom can be Pow. All round my

hat by newspaper head. Your latest trick by dire straits and thanks to

the form of Czech mate this week's UK number one, over and over, by Hot

Chip and it was Kvitova to give Petra a more recognised

pronunciation who proved a Czech too powerful in a one track women's

title match. So in tune was she the first major final for Bouchard was

brutal. But in Jeannie a new star has been released, while Petra's

Wimbledon wishes have been granted for a second time. When Roger

Federer performs it is classical delight. The Maestro strings sing

when he is 234 rhythmic flow. A record eight Men's Singles title is

something few thought he could do. Novak Djokovic ensured after four

hours of combat that the Swiss symphony would remain unfinished.

Encore as he sealed a seventh slam. Banishing memories of recent finals

lost. The sound of summer for this Wimbledon king come no more

emotional, no more joyous than this. Wonderful scenes from the

Championships over the past two week, ending with Novak Djokovic on

that balcony. Wasn't it lovely to hear from him a short time ago? Just

before leave, let us round up the other results from today. There is

many to get through. In the girls' singles final there were many

upsets, and it was between the unseeded Jelena Ostapenko up against

Anna Schmiedlova, the number eight seed and it went to the unseeded

Ostapenko 6-0 in the third and final set.

So receiving the trophy and hopefully this is a name that we

will hear many times in Wimbledon clam ships to come.

The girls doubles. This was one by Tami Grende and Ye of China. This

was played outside on court 18. So that was them receiving their

trophy on court. Big smiles all round. Now the Boys' Singles. This

is the first all American final of the Boys' Singles and it was won by

Rubin, defeating Kozlov, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

So Rubin celebrates the Boys' Singles title.

In the Boys' Doubles, Luz of Brazil and Zormann of Brazil. They put out

the top seeds from the US and a disappointing day for Kozlov, losing

the singles and the doubles, but he lost with his Russian partner Rublev

and it was 8-6 in the third and final set, so a tough loss out

there, a long, long match. In the wheelchair Men's Doubles final, it

was won by the top seeds. They won the Australian Open and they are the

Wimbledon champion, they came through in one hour and 58 minutes.

And great news for Britain's Jordan wily. She and her partner, they were

the top seeds and tham through 7-5 in the third set against the Dutch

team that had won the past two Wimbledon title, so they have won

the Australian, the French and Wimbledon. They need the United

States championship now to complete the Grand Slam.

And just a short time ago on Centre Court, the final match of Wimbledon

2014 was won by Nenad Zimonjic, Djokovic was delighted with that,

his good friend. He won it with Sam Stosur of Australia, they were

seeded 15, they beat the number 14 seeds, Max Mirnyi and Chan

Hao-ching. They have won so many doubles titles

round the world, they will certainly treasure this one and that was a

lovely match to end the championships. In the Royal Box

receiving their trophy. And if you missed the story earlier,

Novak Djokovic is the champion, and this is him with the trophy, the top

seed defeating Roger Federer, the number four seed, 6-4 in the fifth

and final set. It was a very emotional Djokovic on

Centre Court, winning his second Wimbledon title, his seventh Grand

Slam, but he said here in the studio this is the won he will treasure the

most after the difficulties he has had over the past couple of years.

Well, we will be looking back that the final and all of the men's

final, it was such a wonderful event. It is just after 10.35

tonight. A few minutes later than 10.35 but join John and the team for

Today at Wimbledon. It was an absolute thriller.

So, that is it for Wimbledon 2014. We have had wonderful two weeks

here, we have seen so many new names emerging in both the men's and the

lady's Championship and and two worthy winner, Petra Kvitova today

yesterday, and today Novak Djokovic pulled off a thrilling five set

victory against Roger Federer who played his part in one of the

matches we will remember in Wimbledon history. I hope you have

enjoyed it. From all of us here. Goodbye.
