Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal on Monday congratulated Novak Djokovic on winning his sixth Wimbledon title and claim 20 Grand Slams.

Serbian Djokovic had defeated Italy's Matteo Berrettini 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 on Centre Court in a match that lasted three hours and 24 minutes to clinch his sixth Wimbledon title on Sunday.

 

"Congrats @DjokerNole on this amazing achievement. 20 Grand Slam titles is huge and it is amazing that we are 3 players tied on this. Well done and, again, congrats to you and your team for this! @Wimbledon," tweeted Nadal.

World No 1 Djokovic on Sunday won his sixth Wimbledon title. With this win, Djokovic now has 20 Grand Slams to his name and he is now equal with Swiss tennis maestro Roger Federer and Nadal.

Nadal had opted out of this year's Wimbledon. The 35-year-old will also miss the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

With this win, Djokovic has won three Grand Slams this year -- the Australian Open, French Open and now the Wimbledon. The top-seed would now look to end the year on a high by winning the last Grand Slam -- the US Open.
