Roger Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Sergiy Stakhovsky.^[3] Federer's loss marked the first time since the 2004 French Open that he failed to reach the quarterfinals at a major, ending a streak of 36 consecutive quarterfinals at majors. 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.^[4]

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.^[5]

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.^[6] Federer and Nadal's early exits made this the first time since 2002 that neither of them contested the Wimbledon final. For the first time since 1912, no Americans advanced past the second round.^[7] For the first time, a Polish man reached a major semifinal after Jerzy Janowicz defeated compatriot Łukasz Kubot in the quarterfinals.^[8]

Annotations

1. Although commonly reported as a 77-year drought – as there are 77 years between Perry's 1936 win and Murray's 2013 win – Perry reigned as the Wimbledon men's singles champion until the 1937 Championships.^[1]
