Roger Federer has taken to Twitter to react to Novak Djokovic drawing level with him and Rafael Nadal on 20 Grand Slams. Djokovic saw off Matteo Berrettini in four sets in the Wimbledon final to tie his long-time rivals.
Shortly after Djokovic’s triumph, his sixth at SW19 which brings him two behind Federer at the tournament, the Swiss posted that he was “proud” to be playing alongside the Serbian.
Federer could have met Djokovic in the Wimbledon final this year, as he did in 2019, but was beaten by Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals.
On the other side of the draw, Djokovic saw off Marton Fucsovics in the same round before beating Denis Shapovalov in the semis.
And he saw off Berrettini 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in a hard-fought match on Sunday afternoon to tie Federer and Nadal for the joint-most majors of all time.
Reacting to the world No 1’s third Grand Slam triumph of 2021, Federer posted: “Congrats Novak on your 20th major.
“I’m proud to have the opportunity to play in a special era of tennis champions. Wonderful performance, well done!”
