Novak Djokovic defeated defending champion Rafael Nadal in the final, 6–4, 6–1, 1–6, 6–3 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships.[1][2] It was his first Wimbledon title, third major title overall, and first career title on grass courts. Nadal's loss ended his 20-match Wimbledon winning streak dating back to 2008 (having missed the 2009 championships due to injury). It was Nadal's fifth non-consecutive and last Wimbledon final.
Both Nadal and Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. By winning his semifinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic gained the world No. 1 ranking for the first time, and would eventually hold the position for a record total of 428 weeks. This marked the first time that neither Roger Federer nor Nadal was ranked No. 1 since 2 February 2004. This was also the first time since 2002 that neither Federer nor Nadal won the title.
