NOVAK DJOKOVIC PLAYED the likeable bad guy on Wimbledon’s Centre Court this afternoon as he beat crowd favourite Roger Federer in five thrilling sets.
Both players gave the final encounter everything they had, with the Serb pulling clear in the match’s 58th game. This 23-shot rally perfectly captures the levels of commitment and desire both men displayed.
Needless to say, over the final’s four hours and 14 minutes, Twitter was ablaze with comments and declarations of awe and respect for the duo.

You have to salute Djokovic. Some recovery mentally after Federer's revival when most would have let that shift of momentum swallow them up!— Alan O'Mara (@AOMTHECAT) July 6, 2014

Wish I could be as humble in defeat & victory as Federer & Djokovic. Unfortunately, I always find it impossible not to be utterly graceless.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 6, 2014
