Defending champion Novak Djokovic defeated seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer in four sets in the men's singles final to win his third Wimbledon and ninth Grand Slam title here on Sunday.

The 28-year-old Serb won 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 to overtake the likes of Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Ivan Lendl in the all-time list of major winners.

Federer, 33, had hoped to become the first man to win Wimbledon eight times.

The Swiss won a thrilling second set tie-break but Djokovic came through to win in two hours and 56 minutes.
