"You have to keep reminding yourself that you're there for a reason and that you are better than the other guy," Djokovic said after the match as quoted by Reuters.

"I'm just obviously thrilled and overjoyed to be sitting here as a winner. I was one shot away from losing the match. This match had everything. It could have gone easily his way. I think this was the most exciting and thrilling final I have ever been part of," he further added.

On the other hand, the heart-broken 37-year-old Swiss legend who dropped two championship points in the fifth set said, "It was a great match, it was long, it had everything. Novak, congratulations, man, that was crazy."

Tennis lovers all over the world hope to see these two legends again fighting it out against each other in future. But this may not happen as the ageing Federer probably played the last Wimbledon final of his career.
