Novak Djokovic completed another incredible chapter in his tennis career, by winning the Wimbledon men's singles title on Sunday (11th July) to draw level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal with 20th Grand Slam title wins, a record in the men's game.
Djokovic beat Matteo Berrettini in the final on Sunday, for his sixth title at the grass court major.
It also takes him one more step towards what could be an incredible golden slam in 2021, having claimed the Australian Open and French Open at Roland Garros already this year.
He's one of five men to have won the first three grand slam titles in a calendar year, and will be aiming to complete his first calendar slam with victory at the U.S. open in August and September 2021.
Djokovic has previously held all four slams at the same time, but never won them all in the same season.
In addition, the 34-year-old, who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Games in Beijing, will play for Serbia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021, giving him a rare opportunity to complete a 'golden slam' of all four major tour titles and a gold medal at the Games.
No man has ever done that before.
Steffi Graf is the only player to have ever won a calendar golden slam in a single season.
She is also the only player to have won a 'Super Slam' of holding all the grand slam titles, the Olympic gold medal, and the year-ending championships in a twelve-month period.
