On a Centre Court, with an atmosphere that felt at times more akin to football than tennis, Djokovic won 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 13-12 (7-3). The Serbian world number one has now won 16 Grand Slam titles. It was the longest Wimbledon final, at four hours 57 minutes, with a Federer error handing Djokovic victory.
"It's quite unreal," Djokovic said after winning his fifth Wimbledon title. Federer, who at 37 was chasing a record-equalling ninth Wimbledon singles title, added: "It was a great match, it was long, it had everything. Novak, congratulations, man, that was crazy."
