Novak Djokovic's proud girlfriend is tearful as he beats Rafa Nadal to Wimbledon title

The Serbian sportsman wins tournament for the first time

Novak Djokovic is ranked No 1 in the world

Novak Djokovic ended Rafael Nadal's reign as Wimbledon champion yesterday when he won the Men's Singles title in four sets.

The Serbian, who's now ranked No 1 in the world, celebrated by eating some of Centre Court's world famous grass when he won 6-4 6-1 1-6 6-3.

'I always dreamed of winning the first tournament I watched in my life,' said Novak, 24, following his triumph.

'I think I am still sleeping and having my dream.

'Today, I probably played my best match ever on the grass court.'

Novak's pretty blonde girlfriend Jelena Ristic was tearful as she watched her man celebrate his victory at the London lawn tennis club.

Celebrities including Jenson Button, actor Alan Rickman and golfer Rory Mcllroy also turned up to see Novak beat Spaniard Rafa for the 5th time this year.

'To change things I probably have to be a little bit less nervous, play more aggressive, and all the time be confident with myself,' says Rafa, 25.

'That's what I'm going to try next time. If not, I'm going to be here explaining the sixth.'
