Whom did Andy Murray beat in the 2013 Wimbledon men's singles final?
Answer
Novak Djokovic
Answer
Novak Djokovic
Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic in the 2013 Wimbledon men’s singles final.
The championship match took place on Centre Court on 7 July 2013. Murray won in straight sets, 6–4, 7–5, 6–4, against Djokovic, who entered the final as the world No. 1 and top seed. The result gave Murray his first Wimbledon title and his second major championship.
The final was the culmination of a notable tournament for both players. Djokovic had survived a five-set semifinal against Juan Martín del Potro, while Murray reached the final without facing either Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. Murray’s victory also made him the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
A common mistake is to identify del Potro as the finalist because he played one of the tournament’s most memorable matches against Djokovic in the semifinals. Federer was the defending champion but lost in the second round, and Nadal was eliminated in the first round.
