Longest Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Final

Top seeds Novak Djokovic (Serbia) and Roger Federer (Switzerland) served up a 4-hour 57-minute final at the Wimbledon Championships in London, UK, on 14 July 2019. Djokovic secured his fifth Wimbledon title – and 16th Grand Slam crown overall – with a 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 win on Centre Court, in a match featuring the first-ever fifth-set tie-break contested in a Grand Slam final.

The longest Grand Slam final overall also featured Djokovic, playing against Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open on 28 January 2012. The Serbian ace triumphed 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5 after 5 hours 53 minutes.

The longest final at Wimbledon before the 2019 tournament was the 2008 epic between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, which lasted 4 hours 48 minutes. Nadal emerged victorious, 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7.
