Wimbledon 2011 was Novak Djokovic's fifth win in five finals against Rafael Nadal in 2011. The 125th champion of the All-England Lawn Tennis Club has lightning movements, great anticipation and a wonderful game! It was a dream come true for the Serbian, who will now replace Nadal at the summit of men's tennis. 

Djokovic's first Wimbledon title, second of this very year and his third major overall tells something to the world of tennis. His dominance at the top will be prolonged and not just a six month streak of luck.

Generally, when a new champion surfaces at a Grand slam, people begin to talk about the end of eras and the beginning of new ones. That should not be the case with Djokovic. He has reached three finals of the last four majors barring the Roland Garros semifinal defeat at the hands of Roger Federer, which is also his only loss of this year.

Taking out the 2008 Australian Open triumph, Djokovic has had two silent years at the top of Tennis. He was obviously overshadowed by Federer and Nadal making semifinal appearances and winning trophies that hardly mattered. He was outplayed at the business end of the majors during these two years.

But a viable chance came in late 2010 when he went through a change of racket and diet. The consequences were visible. The perennial underachiever became a genuine contender. He led his Serbian team to Davis Cup triumph and made the finals of the US Open. This was going to be his year!

The Serb proved worthy of his expectations, defeating Andy Murray to claim his second major at Australia. He was no longer a one-slam wonder. After that, the scenes shifted to the clay.

The rise of Djokovic was a welcome sign to fans who were tired of seeing only two men lifting all trophies. The rise has been inevitable and undeniable. It has also proved that patience, determination and hard work can counter amazing physical strength and God's own skill set.
