LONDON (Reuters) - After two years of turbulence Novak Djokovic was flying high in clear blue skies again on Sunday after winning a fourth Wimbledon title he believes can act as a springboard to a glorious new chapter in his career.

A 6-2 6-2 7-6(3) defeat of Kevin Anderson on Centre Court ended a two-year hiatus in his Grand Slam title collecting and put him on 13 -- fourth on the all-time list behind Pete Sampras (14), Rafael Nadal (17) and Roger Federer (20).
