Novak Djokovic has won his sixth Wimbledon men's singles title with a 6-7 (7/4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 victory over rising Italian star Matteo Berrettini.

The world number one's latest grand slam title is a record-equalling 20th for his career and ties him with rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

The victory also gives the 34-year-old Serb a shot to win all four majors in a single year and claim the Grand Slam and a further piece of history.

American Don Budge and Australian great Rod Laver are the only men to achieve the feat in singles and Laver did so twice, in 1962 and 1969.
