(1) Novak Djokovic defeated (2) Roger Federer 7-6(1), 6-7(10), 6-4, 6-3 for his third Wimbledon trophy, and ninth major title.
Federer was able to do some positive things with his serve, but it wasn't anywhere near as effective as it was in the semifinal win against Andy Murray. For the match, Federer had 14 aces and only three double faults. He landed 67 percent of his first serves in and won 74 percent of his points on the first serve.
Federer did a good job of trying to attack the net during the match. He won 42/58 points (72%) at the net. However, he was only 1/7 on break opportunities while Djokovic broke him 4/10 times.
The biggest shocker was Djokovic's serving. Federer not only struggled to break, but he nearly cancelled out Federer's ace total with 13 of his own.
Federer ultimately made a few too many unforced errors that helped seal his fate. He had 48 winners, but 35 unforced errors. That total would beat anyone on tour except for Djokovic.
Djokovic played an aggresive game, but had 46 winners, and only 16 unforced errors.
With today's win, Djokovic surpasses Andre Agassi, Ivan Lendl, and Jimmy Connors for a spot alone as the fifth most major titles in the Open era.
