Novak Djokovic vainqueur de Wimbledon le 14 juillet 2019
Le Serbe, qui a écarté deux balles de match au 5e set, remporté 13-12 (7/3), rejoint ainsi au palmarès le Suédois Björn Borg, lui aussi titré 5 fois à Londres. Il est désormais à quatre longueurs du record de victoires en Majeurs détenu par Roger Federer (20).
Le Suisse est passé tout près d'un 21e trophée en Grand Chelem. Mais Djokovic n'a pas cédé. Après avoir été mené deux sets à un, Federer était pourtant parvenu à arracher une cinquième manche face à un Djokovic par moments légèrement fébrile.
Novak Djokovic a remporté dimanche son 5e titre à Wimbledon, le 16e Grand Chelem de sa carrière, en battant Roger Federer au terme de la finale la plus longue du tournoi, la première décidée au tie-break du 5e set, après quasiment cinq heures de jeu 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 13-12 (3).
La cinquième manche fut sublime, avec ces deux balles sauvées par le N.1 mondial sur le service de Federer à 8-7, prolongeant ce dernier set au tie-break à 12 jeux partout, la nouvelle règle en vigueur à Wimbledon. Un dernier tie-break fatal à Federer.
"C'était la finale la plus tendue de ma carrière. Malheureusement, dans ces matches, un des joueurs doit perdre. C'est assez irréel de revenir de deux balles de match et de gagner", a déclaré Novak Djokovic. "Quand j'avais cinq ans et que je rêvais de devenir un joueur de tennis, je m'imaginais ici. C'est spécial."
Pour Roger Federer, à bientôt 38 ans, c'est sans doute l'une de ses dernières opportunités qui s'est envolée.
"C'était un grand match, long et tout. Je crois que nous avons joué du grand tennis.J'espère que je donne une chance aux gens de penser qu'on n'est pas fini à 37 ans.
Je me sens bien, enfin... je peux encore tenir debout", a-t-il déclaré.

Novak Djokovic beats Roger Federer in five sets to win Wimbledon – as it happened
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2019/jul/14/novak-djokovic-v-roger-federer-wimbledon-mens-singles-final-live
Novak Djokovic saved two championship points and beat Roger Federer 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 to win his fifth Wimbledon title
Novak Djokovic speaks! “If this was not the most exciting final then it was definitely the top two or three. I was up against one of the greatest players of all time, Roger, who I expect a lot. Unfortunately one player has to lose and we both had our chances. It’s unreal to be two match points down and come back. It’s a bit strange to play a tie-break at 12-all as well. I was hoping to get to the tie-breaks as well. And Roger says he hopes he can inspire others to believe they can do it at 32. I’m one of them. When I was a boy and dreaming to be a tennis player this always has been the tournament for me. I used to make trophies out of different materials in my room and it’s extra special sharing it with my son in the crowd and my parents and my whole team. My wife and daughter are here in London but they are at home. I’ll see them soon. Back to being dad too, I guess.”
Roger Federer speaks! “I will try to forget. It was a great match. It was long, it had everything, I had my chances, so did he. In a way I’m happy. But Novak was great. Well done. I still feel good. I can still stand. Back to dad and husband. It’s all good.”

It was an epic, tell-the-grandkids instant classic tennis match, which offered a little bit of everything, and then some. But in the end, Novak Djokovic offered a little bit more.
Wimbledon, England
I don’t want to be depressed about what was an amazing tennis match.—Roger Federer, Sunday night. It’s close to 11 p.m. here, local time—the Wimbledon men’s final between Federer and Novak Djokovic has been over for more than a few hours, and I still feel like I drank 1,700 espressos.
