That’s all for tonight. Thanks as always for following along and be sure to read Tumaini Carayol’s full report off the match here.
“To make the history of this sport is just something truly remarkable and special,” Djokovic continues. “In every possible way and in every posisble meaning of the word special. It’s hard to describe in words. I had a childhood dream when I was 7, 8. I wanted to become the best player in the world and win Wimbledon trophy. That was the only thing I wanted. But when I realize that, obviously, I started to dream new dreams and set new objectives, new goals, I never imagined that I would be here standing with you talking about 24 slams. I never thought that that would be the reality. But the last couple of years I felt I have a chance, I have a shot at history, and why not grab it if it’s presented?”
