Lot Essay

As in the previous year, Roger Federer hit top form for the Wimbledon Championships and it would take an impressive performance from Novak Djokovic in the final to stop him from winning a record-breaking eighth Wimbledon title. Roger lost only one set en route to the final, defeating home favourite Andy Murray in the semi-final along the way. Djokovic eventually triumphed 7–6, 6–7, 6–4, 6–3 to win his 3rd Wimbledon title.
