Novak Djokovic has once again proven that he is a mighty force to be reckoned with after winning the Wimbledon Men’s final in four sets

The 34-year old Serbian national now has six Wimbledon trophies to his name. This means he’s now tied with Rodger Federer and Rafael Nadal, with 20 Grand Slam victories.

Djokovic competed against Italian Matteo Berrettini, with the 25-year-old putting forward a massive fighting spirit. However, it was ultimately not enough to topple the world number one.

When asked about his equal Grand Slam ranking with Nadal and Federer, Djokovic laughed saying “it means none of us three will stop”.

He continued, adding “I have to pay great tribute to Rafa and Roger. They are legends of our sport and they are the two most important players I have faced in my career. They are the reason that I am where I am today.”

The final score of the game was 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
