LONDON (Reuters) - It took Kevin Anderson an exhausting and draining 21 hours to crawl into a Wimbledon final and once he got there on Sunday there was no tea and sympathy waiting for him as Novak Djokovic dismissed the South African in three sets.

For the 16th successive year a member of the 'Big Four' had again locked out all opposition, with Djokovic repeatedly caressing, hugging and kissing the gilded Challenge Cup as if he had been reunited with a long lost friend.
