Roger Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Sergiy Stakhovsky.[3] Federer's loss marked the first time since the 2004 French Open that he failed to reach the quarterfinals at a major. It was his earliest exit in Wimbledon since 2002, and the first time he lost to a player ranked outside the top 100 since 2005.[4]

Djokovic advanced to the final after a five-set semifinal against Juan Martín del Potro. At 4 hours and 43 minutes this match was the then-longest semifinal ever contested at Wimbledon, breaking the previous record set by Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl in 1989.[5]

In the first round, world No. 135 Steve Darcis defeated world No. 5 and two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal, the first time Nadal lost in the first round of a major.[6] Federer and Nadal's early exits made this the first time since the 2004 French Open that neither of them appeared in the quarterfinals of a major, and the first time since 2002 that neither contested the Wimbledon final. For the first time since 1912, no Americans advanced past the second round.[7] For the first time, a Polish man reached a major semifinal after Jerzy Janowicz defeated compatriot Łukasz Kubot in the quarterfinals.[8]

Annotations edit

  1. ^ Although commonly reported as a 77-year drought – as there are 77 years between Perry's 1936 win and Murray's 2013 win – Perry remained the Wimbledon men's singles champion until the 1937 Championships.[1]
