Wimbledon 2022 final – Novak Djokovic vs Nick Kyrgios LIVE RESULT: Centre Court ERUPTS as Serbian star RETAINS crown

Djokovic 2-6 6-3 2-0 Norrie*

The momentum has definitely swung here...

At 30-0, Djokovic rips a low forehand into the tape of the net and it pops up and over.

In the first set, that would have stayed his side!

A nightmare overhead seals the game.

That's five games in a row for Djokovic - which coincides with the nasty slip.

Djokovic* 2-6 6-3 1-0 Norrie

DJOKOVIC BREAKS!

Djokovic went off court after the end of that second set and is gone for nearly five minutes.

Norrie punishes him by taking a superb opening point, racing in a fizzing the ball away.

But Djokovic responds to 15-30 before Norrie serves a slice into the Chelsea Pensioners - a quick hand of apology from the Brit and then a smash in anger.

A forehand long offers up break point... saved in style with another smash, keeping his focus after Djokovic's diving shot left him lying on the grass.

A few dodgy bounces have Norrie annoyed but he saves the break point...

And Djokovic is down! He does the splits as his feet give way but is up again pretty quickly.

Djokovic steps back to return the second serve on a thrid break and this time gets into the rally before Norrie mishits one booming long.

That's the early break for Djokovic.

Djokovic 2-6 6-3 Norrie*

GAME AND SECOND SET, DJOKOVIC!

A double fault and a failed drop shot get Norrie to 0-30.

But back comes Djokovic and when the Brit fires out, the Serb has a set point.

And it is sealed by a backhand long from Norrie.

We are all square after an hour and ten minutes.

Djokovic* 2-6 5-3 Norrie

Oh dear. Oh Cameron.

He played the 15-15 point perfectly, forcing Djokovic into the corner and has a simple volley putaway... but inexplicably puts it wide.

And then Djokovic reads the drop shot and is on to it in a flash to force two break points...

Norrie sends the forehand long and Djokovic, all of a sudden, will serve to level up the match.

What a brutal game for Norrie.

He needs to put that behind him, now.

Djokovic 2-6 4-3 Norrie*

My word, that is outrageous from the 20-time Grand Slam champion.

Norrie unleashes on the running forehand and dips one at Djokovic's left foot - but he produces a simply divine drop half-volley that lands about six inches into Norrie's half. Wow.

Norrie suffers a bit of a slip at 15-0 - has he hurt himself a little bit there?

No obvious damage done but he might have tweaked something.

A love hold.

Djokovic* 2-6 3-3 Norrie

You can tell who wins each point simply by the reaction and noise from the crowd.

Complete silence as Djokovic makes it 15-15 and then a groan when Norrie nets a smash.

And again as Norrie pushes wide to offer up break point... but Djokovic goes long and cannot believe it. Another unsuccessful challenge from the Serb.

Norrie saves another break point before a big serve and a Djokovic backhand slice backhand long.

Massive.

Elsewhere, security staff have stopped any more fans getting on to Henman Hill / Murray Mound / Norrie Knoll because it is too full.

And here's John McEnroe explaining his outfit of choice on this blistering July Friday: "I'm wearing black today because I'm in mourning over the Nadal situation."

Djokovic 2-6 3-2 Norrie*

Cam Norrie has all the answers right now - and his forehand up the line is causing Djokovic a lot of issues.

He does it again on the first point of this game before putting away the smash.

Novak shows off his speed and skill to chase down a Norrie drop shot off his own drop shot... and guide it up the line.

Oooft. Djokovic nails a backhand into the same corner. That was gorgeous.

Norrie cannot keep a return under control at 40-15.

Djokovic* 2-6 2-2 Norrie

Norrie is keeping up this fine momentum by racing into a 30-0 lead before Djokovic flashes a forehand winner past his British opponent and into the corner. Lovely shot.

And then we have some drama...

Norrie finds the lines as he bosses another rally but drags wide - Djokovic responds and Norrie puts the volley away and immediately challenges, thinking it was in. It was well out. 30-30...

Nozza tries to mix it up with a drop shot but finds the net...

Break point...

Saved in emphatic fashion as Norrie goes on the offensive and blitzed through Djokovic, who it sounds like maybe got a couple of boos for his challenge of the big forehand that landed well inside the lines.

Djokovic nets a forehand return on the second serve.

I said it at this point in the first set but that is an important hold.

Djokovic 2-6 2-1 Norrie*

A couple long from Norrie before the Serb puts away a smash at 40-0.

Djokovic held for 2-1 in the first set... then lost five games in a row!

Piers Morgan is also here enjoying the action.

Djokovic* 2-6 1-1 Norrie

Whoops! Up 30-15, Norrie dumps a short slice backhand into the net.

But the Brit keeps his cool with a superb angled backhand volley.

Perfect grass-court tennis.

Djokovic sends a forehand long after a slight let cord and that's a hold for Norrie.

Djokovic 2-6 1-0 Norrie*

How will Novak Djokovic respond? Remember, as things stand, this is his only chance to win a Grand Slam this year due to Covid vaccination rules in America.

He puts on his baseball cap and comes out swinging with a love hold.

A long way to go, lest we forget.

Another stat for you: Djokovic has won more Grand Slams (20) than Norrie has even been in (19).

Djokovic* 2-6 Norrie

GAME AND FIRST SET, NORRIE!

Norrie is having everything go his way right now.

Even a heavy let cord from Djokovic decides to jump back on to the Serb's side for 30-0.

Double fault.

Norrie is only serving at 42 per cent of first serves in against the greatest returner ever... this is ridiculous.

127mph ace. Boom. Love it, Cam.

Two set points...

Another double fault.

Ace!

HUGE fist pump and rightly so.

What a staggering 32 minutes of tennis.

Djokovic 2-5 Norrie*

NORRIE BREAKS ONCE MORE!

An ace sets Novak on his way in this game.

But another forehand is totally uncharacteristic, sending it sailing nowhere near the singles court. Strange...

Norrie chases down a Djokovic drop shot (as Sinner did so well on Tuesday) and flicks the ball up the line into the empty space for two more break points...

AND CAMERON NORRIE TAKES IT!

He outlasts Djokovic in a bruising baseline exchange with the Serb netting as the Brit ups the tempo.

This is remarkable for two very different reasons.

Djokovic* 2-4 Norrie

Good tennis from Cameron Norrie.

His sweet ball-striking has Djokovic struggling to cope in this sixth game.

A return long and then one in the net consolidate the break.

Wayne Rooney is here, too...

Djokovic 2-3 Norrie*

DJOKOVIC BROKEN AGAIN!

Oooh...

At 30-30, Djokovic sends a wild forehand well out to offer up another break point...

And a big "come on" from the other end as Norrie knows the Djokovic backhand is going long.

Norrie secures the third break of the match from five matches.

Djokovic* 2-2 Norrie

The crowd love it!

What a rally from both players - Djokovic brings Norrie in, who responds with a brilliant lob... only for Novak to do a hot-dog lob back through his legs and over Norrie, who runs back and keeps the ball in play only for Djokovic to put the drop volley away.

We may not be seeing Kyrgios today but there is already some showboating, stunning tennis on display.

Norrie recovers, though, and gets his serve going to hold.

An important hold, too.

Djokovic 2-1 Norrie*

Breaking news: we have a hold of serve.

And an easy one at that.

Djokovic is in front of the scoreboard for the first time.

As for Norrie, here is that suncream in all its glory!

Djokovic* 1-1 Norrie

DJOKOVIC BREAKS BACK!

One in the net from each before Norrie pushes one wide and then nets to offer up two immediate break-back points...

And a mid-court forehand slapped into net hands the advantage back.

Two very poor service games so far.

Djokovic 0-1 Norrie*

NORRIE BREAKS!

Norrie gets the first point as Djokovic nets - and the crowd erupts!

A nervy, stretching forehand then sails long from Novak.

The perfect start for Cam!

Another sluggish backhand into the net from the Serb gifts up two break points...

AND NORRIE BREAKS IMMEDIATELY!

He nails a perfect return up the line then has Djokovic scampering to the net before putting a gorgeous volley away into the space.

What a start for the Brit!

Away we go then

Novak Djokovic to serve first.

The top seed and defending champion knows he has the crowd fully against him today.

Sir Alex in the house

Norrie's dad David is a huge Rangers fan.

So he will no doubt have plenty of things to talk about with Glaswegian Sir Alex Ferguson.

The former Manchester United boss is here at the All England Club...

But he was not included on the Royal Box list - which is headlined by the Duke of Kent and James Bond actor Rami Malek and director Sam Mendes.

Here they come...

Massive cheers for both men as they walk out on to Centre Court.

What a glorious day for this solo men's semi-final of the day.

Getting the blood flowing

The Brit is ready and waiting in the Wimbledon corridor.

He is shaking his arms and legs as he waits around for Djokovic.

The nerves and excitement are building for me, so I dread to think how Cam is feeling.

At least his nose won't get sunburnt - he has got plenty of suncream on Nozza's nose.

The nation is behind you, Sir!

Dad's watchful eye

Cam's dad David has just been on the BBC.

He confirmed they went out for a coffee this morning and his son is feeling relaxed ahead of the biggest match of his life.

"He's got nothing to lose!" declares Norrie Sr.

He will now be taking his spot in the Centre Court player box.

Nozza is next

That's right.

Britain's Cameron Norrie is next up on Centre Court.

He takes on Novak Djokovic for a place in the Wimbledon final.
