The longest ever final

History was created as Djokovic and Federer served up a classic final that at four hours and 57 minutes was the longest ever. It was also the first ever singles match at Wimbledon to be decided by a final-set tie-break and it was the Serbian that was victorious. After the first four sets were shared, Djokovic winning both of his on tie-breaks, he had to save two match points at 8-7 in the fifth. At 12-12 no one knew who was going to win, but the 32-year-old claimed his fifth crown at SW19 as the Swiss great wavered.
