Novak Djokovic retained his Wimbledon title on Sunday by beating Roger Federer in four pulsating sets, and celebrated with his customary mouthful of grass before lifting the famous 18 inch Challenge Cup and pocketing a cheque for £1.8m.

It took the 28-year-old Serb just under three hours to claim his third All England title 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (10-12) 6-4 6-3, and Djokovic said afterwards: "You work hard all your life, every day. You envisage yourself being on the Centre Court, holding this trophy. It's a very thrilling feeling."
