Novak Djokovic looked back at his best again as he dismantled the challenge of Kevin Anderson in the Wimbledon men’s singles final.

The Serbian’s fourth title at SW19 was clinched in a one-sided tie-break after Djokovic swept through the first two sets untroubled.

Here is a look at three talking points from the day.

Super Novak

The world number 21 ruled the roost in south-west London, but Djokovic is no ordinary world number 21. Already a 12-time grand slam winner before arriving at these championships, his run to the recent Queen’s Club final indicated his best form was returning after a difficult couple of years in which injury and self-doubt have hampered his game. Prior to his dip, Djokovic had gone on a run of winning four consecutive grand slams, and he will head to New York next month with serious designs on winning the US Open to make it back-to-back majors again. He is playing super tennis once more, and his semi-final against Rafael Nadal was breathtaking.

If he can do it, why shouldn’t I?

Maybe Andy Murray will take some confidence from seeing his long-time rival returning to the top of his game after injury. Murray has recovered from his hip problem to the point where he expects to play the US hard-court season, and there were indications during his participation at Queen’s Club and Eastbourne that with more practice and more match action he can be competitive again. The former world number one may not reach those dizzy heights again, but injuries are there to be overcome and it is hard to think of anybody more driven than Murray.

Jamie’s magic touch deserted him

It was not to be for Jamie Murray and Victoria Azarenka, whose long and highly entertaining run in the mixed doubles came to an end with defeat in the final on Centre Court. The new combination had clicked during the early rounds but ‘Muzzarenka’ – as Judy Murray labelled the team – found Alexander Peya and Nicole Melichar too strong. Azarenka said she would give mixed doubles another try with the Scot, though, so why not at Flushing Meadows, where Murray has another title to defend? He won Wimbledon and the US Open with Martina Hingis last year.
