Who defeated Roger Federer in the 2019 Wimbledon final?

Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the 2019 Wimbledon final.

The match was an extraordinary five-set contest on Centre Court, with Djokovic winning 7–6(5), 1–6, 7–6(4), 4–6, 13–12(3). It lasted 4 hours and 57 minutes, making it the longest Wimbledon singles final ever played at the time.

Federer had two championship points while serving at 8–7 in the fifth set, but Djokovic saved both. The final set then reached 12–12, triggering Wimbledon’s new final-set tiebreak rule. Djokovic won the deciding tiebreak 7–3.

A common mix-up is the 2008 Wimbledon final, in which Rafael Nadal defeated Federer. Andy Murray never beat Federer in a Wimbledon final, and Stan Wawrinka did not reach this final. Djokovic’s victory gave him his fifth Wimbledon title.
