2013 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles
Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic in the final, 6–4, 7–5, 6–4 to win the Gentlemen's Singles tennis title at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. He became the first British man to win the wimbledon men's singles title since Fred Perry in 1936, ending a 76-year drought, as well as the first British winner in singles since Virginia Wade won the women's event in 1977. He was also the first Scot to win the title since Harold Mahony in 1896. Djokovic advanced to the final after a five-set semifinal against Juan  Martín del Potro. At 4 hours and 43 minutes this match was the then-longest semifinal ever contested at Wimbledon, breaking the previous record set by Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl in 1989. Roger Federer was the defending champion, but he lost in the second round to Sergiy Stakhovsky. Federer's loss marked the first time since the 2004 French Open that he had failed to reach the quarterfinals at a major. It was his earliest exit in Wimbledon since 2002, and the first time he lost to a player ranked outside the top 100 since 2005. In the first  round, world No. 135 Steve Darcis defeated world No. 5 and two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal, the first time Nadal lost in the first round of a major. Federer and Nadal's early exits made this the first time since the 2004 French Open that neither of them appeared in the quarterfinals of a major, and the first time since 2002 that neither contested the Wimbledon final. For the first time since 1912, no American man advanced past the second round. For the first time, a Polish man reached the semifinal stage of a major after Jerzy Janowicz defeated  compatriot Łukasz Kubot in the quarterfinals. Seeds. Novak Djokovic "(final)"
