125th Championships review

A memorable a hundred and twenty fifth Championships ended with 2 new names on the singles honours boards. The men's title went, for the primary time, to a player from Serbia as Novak Djokovic halted Rafael Nadal's 20-match winning streak at Wimbledon - a run including the 2008 and 2010 titles - with a merited 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 victory. it had been the Serb's fifth victory over Nadal in a very final this year and took his won-lost record for 2011 to an unbelievable 48-1. Nadal was fiddling with a pain-killing injection in a very sore foot, suffered within the fourth spherical and was below his best kind. Djokovic on the opposite hand swept all before him, and was justly congratulated by the loser for taking part in 'very, terribly high level'.
