Defending champion Novak Djokovic has won a third Wimbledon title and a ninth Grand Slam crown, shattering Roger Federer's bid for a record eighth All England Club triumph. World number one Serbian Djokovic won 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 to add the Wimbledon title to the Australian Open he captured in January. For 33-year-old Swiss veteran Federer, it was a bitterly disappointing end to his bid to become the oldest Wimbledon champion of the Open Era at London last night. The 17-time major winner has now gone three years since his last Grand Slam triumph. Leander Paes clinched his 16th Grand Slam trophy, winning the mixed doubles event of the Championship with Martina Hingis after a dominating win over Alexander Peya and Timea Babos, last night. Seventh seed Indo-Swiss pair drubbed the fifth seed Austrian-Hungarian team 6-1, 6-1 in the lop-sided summit clash which was over in just 40 minutes. It was Paes' eighth mixed doubles title and second with Hingis. They had won the Australian Open early this year. 42-year-old Paes has eight men's doubles crowns in his Grand Slam collection. Paes' win capped an incredibly successful Wimbledon for India as the country took three titles this year. Sania Mirza won the women's doubles and Saumit Nagal won the junior boys doubles trophy. For Hingis, it was second title in as many days, having won the women's doubles with Sania. Overall it was 18th Major title for the Swiss and third in mixed doubles.
