Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer to claim his third Wimbledon single in a nail-biting final yesterday.

Except the shirt wouldn't rip.
Despite an intense effort to tear it off, and perhaps forgetting the strict etiquette of Wimbledon's Centre Court, the 28-year-old failed and was forced to remove it the traditional way - over his head.
It's not the first time the player has attempted the superhuman feat.
Back in 2010, Djokovic tried, and this time succeeded to rip his shirt off in celebration after beating previous champion Lleyton Hewitt at Wimbledon.
The star had then tossed the sweat-soaked top into the crowd.

While he may have failed to tear of his short this time round, back on the court Djokovic soared to victory for the second year running following a four-set thriller, which was watched on by a star-studded crowd, including Pippa Middleton, Benedict Cumberbatch and Naomi Campbell.
He roared in delight and pumped his arms after winning his first match point, before eating some of the hallowed Centre Court grass.
In what was almost a repeat of last year's final, the World Number One sealed the win - his ninth grand slam title - in the fourth set of the game, despite losing the second set to his accomplished rival.
The Swiss 33-year-old - who was hoping for his eighth Wimbledon title - had triumphed following a lengthy tie break, winning 12 points to Djokovic's 10.
But Djokovic's form was too much for Federer and he went on to win the final set 6-3 after his first championship point, matching coach Boris Becker's impressive Wimbledon record.
Djokovic won 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 and 6-3 and will now earn a cool £1.88 million for his victory. Federer takes home £940,000 as runner-up.
