It didn't take long for Novak Djokovic 's walls of tensions to tumble after he beat Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 on Sunday to lift his seventh Wimbledon crown.
This year's decider came with some added spice given the frosty relationship the two have shared in recent years. However, the 21-time major champion had nothing but appreciation for his Australian counterpart after winning his first Grand Slam crown of 2022.
"I never thought I'm going to say so many nice things about you considering the relationship," said Djokovic after winning a fourth consecutive crown at SW19, with the pair having quarrelled via the media in the past. "Okay, it's officially a bromance."
