Wimbledon is the most revered tennis Grand Slam and is the only major still played on a grass court (the other majors being the US Open, Australian Open, and French Open). It is also the oldest tennis tournament in the world, as it has been held 135 times and is 145 years old, being founded in 1877. On a different note, there was a lot of controversy over the fact that Russian and Belarusian players were not allowed to compete in the tournament due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But who won this year? 

First of all, who competed in the Wimbledon Finals? Well, one of them was the Serbian tennis master, Novak Djokovic (his name is pronounced No-vak' Jo'ko-vich). He has numerous tennis world records and many more Grand Slam wins. The other competitor was Australian Nick Kyrgios (pronounced Nik' Ker'ee-os), who has also won numerous tournaments. 

So who won? Well, the three-hour competition ended up in disappointment for Kyrgios and relief for Djokovic. The first set put Kyrgios in a good place after winning 6-4, but Djokovic came back in Set 2 to win 6-3. Then Djokovic won again, 6-4, and then came Set 4. They ended up tied 6-6, but Djokovic won the tiebreaker, 7-3 to win the tournament.
