Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic just played one of the greatest matches in the history of tennis and the sports world took notice.
The game went all the way to five sets and then even further, remaining tied through 24 games and ultimately going to a tiebreak at 12-12. Djokovic emerged as the winner in the end and was crowned Champion after winning the longest singles match in Wimbledon history.
The reactions during and after the match were almost as entertaining as the match itself.
Novak Djokovic defeats Roger Federer in a fifth set tiebreak to claim his fifth #Wimbledon title (7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12).

This is his 16th Grand Slam title. He is now only two back of Nadal and four back of Federer in career Menβs Singles Grand Slams. #WimbledonFinal πΎπ pic.twitter.com/6yAOAWjZge
