2015 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles
Defending champion Novak Djokovic successfully defended his title, defeating Roger Federer in a rematch of the previous year's final, 7–6, 6–7, 6–4, 6–3 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships. It was his third Wimbledon title and ninth major title overall. Federer was vying to become the first man to win Wimbledon eight times (a feat he would achieve in 2017), and became the first man in the Open Era to reach 10 finals at the same major. 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt played in his final Wimbledon  (singles) appearance, losing to Jarkko Nieminen (who was also playing in his final Wimbledon) in the first round. In the second round, 102nd-ranked Dustin Brown upset the two-time champion Rafael Nadal. Brown previously defeated Nadal at the 2014 Gerry Weber Open in Halle, the only other time the two had played each other. This marked the fourth straight year in which Nadal suffered an early-round exit from the tournament by losing to a player ranked 100 or lower. This was the first major since the 2002 US Open where David Ferrer (world No. 8) did not participate  as he withdrew with an elbow injury, ending his streak of 50 consecutive major appearances. This was also the first major main draw appearance for future ATP Finals champion, Olympic gold medalist and world No. 3 Alexander Zverev, who lost to Denis Kudla in the second round. Seeds.
