Wimbledon final

A protester was quickly thrown out of Centre Court early in the third set of the Wimbledon final against Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic.

And Wimbledon isn't the first Grand Slam to be hit be protesters this year either, as a climate campaigner chained herself to the net on Court Philippe-Chatrier at the French Open earlier this year during Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic's semi-final. The protesters wore white skirts with red shorts underneath, inspired by former pro Tatiana Golovin, who caused controversy when she wore red shorts under her skirt back in 2007. They have also suspended all events in China.

Novak Djokovic waited. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way. Waited to find the proper read on his foe's big serves.

And then, in the third set, with Kyrgios serving at 4-all, 40-love, he again let a seemingly sealed game get away, with Djokovic breaking there. Hit some with his back to the net. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men’s champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. In the second set, with Djokovic serving at 5-3, Kyrgios got to love-40 — a trio of break points. In last year’s title match at Wimbledon, Djokovic dropped the opening set. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way.

The umpire then appeared to contact security to deal with the situation. Kyrgios has hit the headlines throughout the tournament. What is acceptable?"

Novak Djokovic had trouble with Nick Kyrgios' monster serve, but eventually found his rhythm -- and blocked out the distractions -- to win his 21st Grand ...

Kyrgios had spoken about the importance of experience here -- and how while this would be his first Grand Slam final Djokovic knows every blade of grass and exactly how to navigate the sport's biggest occasion. By that point Nadal will have had three opportunities to stretch out in front, while Federer may still be in the midst of his comeback. When Kyrgios missed his chance to break Djokovic at the end of the second set -- surrendering three set points -- he increased the chat toward his box. That meant Djokovic had lost a first set for the third match running at Wimbledon -- just the third time in his career on grass this had happened. He was growing increasingly frustrated at how the match was developing, and the chat continued into the third set. Djokovic told us Friday to expect "fireworks" in this match, and while there were no on-court flashpoints between the two players, it did not want for drama. Kyrgios had won both of their previous meetings ahead of the Sunday final -- and Djokovic had drawn just one break point opportunity in those two matches. But in the first set he really couldn't get ahold of Kyrgios' serve -- which included a second ace at 125mph in just the second game of the match. Kyrgios grew visibly more frustrated during the third set and asked the umpire to remove a spectator who he said had "drunk 700 drinks, bro" and was talking to him during a point. Kyrgios dropped just five points on his serve in the first set to storm through. As Kyrgios stuck the ball in the net on championship point, Djokovic looked to his team and let out a massive exhale. Kyrgios stormed through the first set in just 31 minutes to win 6-4, with Djokovic finding it hard to read the Australian's serve.

And when he did, he was straight out the door. “There was a lot of chaos in Nick’s life before he met her. “For a big chunk of the last six or seven years, I lost my little brother. “The world changed him. His 12 wins on grass this year are the most of any man. “My hand is bleeding.

NICK KYRGIOS suffered a four-set defeat to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.

The 27-year-old has famously found himself embroiled in spats with chair umpires, even mumbling to Renaud Lichtenstein about a "drunk" spectator and some line calls during the final. Nick Kyrgios made a playful swipe at umpires after suffering a 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6(3) defeat to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. "Absolutely not," he laughed when Sue Barker asked if he was hungry for more after coming so close to a maiden Grand Slam title.

Nick Kyrgios believes he "belonged" in the Wimbledon final after losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets on Centre Court.

"I put myself in a position to win the first set. I feel like that's when you got to maybe give her a water or take her out." "In big moments, it just felt like he was never rattled. But I came out in the first set and I looked like I was the one who had played in a lot of finals. I mean, look, I've been on a couple nights out in my life," he said with a small smile. "You didn't believe me and then she did it again and it nearly cost me the game. I feel like I've kind of put it together a little bit this couple of weeks." "I know exactly which one it is. "I felt like he just has so much experience to draw on. I played a Slam final against one of the greatest of all time, and I was right there. Kyrgios then had a key service game disrupted by a member of the crowd. I felt like the trophy was definitely attainable today.

Novak Djokovic officially declared a "bromance" with Nick Kyrgios after he beat the Australian to win his seventh Wimbledon crown.
