![]() ![]() Djokovic bid for 'Golden Slam' in doubtīerrettini saved two match points at 5-3 in the fourth set with a controlled volley and a 101mph forehand winner down the line.Only Germany's Steffi Graf in 1988 has ever won all four majors and the Olympics in a calendar year. Having already claimed the Australian Open and French Open, Djokovic is the fifth man in history - and only the second in the Open era after Rod Laver in 1969 - to win the first three majors of the season.Īnd with Djokovic retaining his crown at the All England Club, he has moved a step closer to becoming the second player to achieve a 'Golden Slam'. "A seven-year-old boy in Serbia constructing a Wimbledon trophy with improvised materials and standing here with a sixth real trophy is incredible. "Winning Wimbledon was always the biggest dream for me when I was a kid," said the world number one, who dropped a set for only the second time in the SW19 fortnight. Top seed Djokovic has now won all three Grand Slam men's titles in 2021. Seventh seed Berrettini, 25, received loud backing but could not maintain his advantage in his first major final.
