Serbia’s Novak Djokovic has claimed a fifth Wimbledon title after a marathon match with Switzerland's Roger Federer on July 14.
The defending champ Djokovic beat Federer in the first All England Club final to be decided by a tiebreaker, 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 13-12 (3).
At four hours and 57 minutes, the match was the longest Wimbledon singles final ever.
Victory took the 32-year-old Serbian level with Bjorn Borg in fourth place on the all-time list of men's winners at Wimbledon and moved him four behind Federer on the all-time Grand Slam list.
"Roger is one of the greatest players of all time, who I respect a lot," Djokovic, who has now beaten Federer in three of the last six Wimbledon finals, said on court.
