Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the final, 6–7(7–9), 6–4, 7–6(7–4), 5–7, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2014 Wimbledon Championships. It was his second Wimbledon title and seventh major title overall.
Although Nadal was world No. 1 entering the tournament, he was seeded second behind Djokovic due to his recent poor performances on grass (and notably his early exits at Wimbledon the previous two years).[1] By claiming the title, Djokovic replaced Nadal as the world No. 1. The final marked the first major men's singles final since the 2009 US Open to feature neither Murray nor Nadal, a span of 18 events.
