Djokovic wins third Slam title.



Novak Djokovic won his first Wimbledon title Sunday beating defending champion Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.The Serbian second seed saw off the top seed and defending champion to claim his first Wimbledon crown and confirm his status as the new world number one.The first set went with serve until Djokovic pounced in the 10th game to break Nadal and he played inspired tennis to romp through the second set in 33 minutes and take complete control of the match.Finally Nadal got a foothold in the match when a rare Djokovic error handed him a break in the second game of the third set and he broke again before taking it 6-1.Nadal looked to have the momentum but Djokovic displayed nerves of steel to break for a 2-0 lead in the fourth.

Maria Sharapova back into Wimbledon semifinals.


When Maria Sharapova says her game is getting better and better at Wimbledon, it's hard to argue.Sharapova won the Wimbledon title in 2004 when she was only 17. She made the semifinals the next two years, but hadn't been back this far since."I certainly feel like I've improved, especially from my second round," said Sharapova.To reach a second final, she'll have to beat German wild-card entry Sabine Lisicki."It's been a few years since I got past the fourth round, and now I'm in the semifinals," said Sharapova, who has not lost a set at this year's tournament. "So this a great chance for me to take it a step further."
