Novak Djokovic accomplished his third Grand Slam title Sunday, beating defending champion Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 in the Wimbledon men's title match.

It was Djokovic's 50th win in 51 matches and his fifth win over Nadal this year.

He became the first Serbian man to hold the Wimbledon title in his hand, achieving his third career Grand Slam title after previously winning two Australian Open victories.

It's hard to describe with any words except that it's the best, most special day of my life, he told the BBC. This is my favorite tournament and the tournament I always dreamed of winning.
