 | The new world No 1 is the final Djokovic in London1-07-2011 |
Serb Novak Djokovic beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 to reach for the first time in his career to the finals of "Wimbledon" and to ensure first place in the world rankings by next week. The second set was close to victory in three sets, but suddenly erupted Tsonga and Serbian samples to bring things to a tiebreak in the third. Here the Frenchman, who removed the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov this year, won 11-9. But Djokovic held his nerve and samples at the beginning of the fourth set to lead ultimately to success against the executioner of the six times champion Roger Federer here.
