Novak Djokovic defeated the 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.
It was his first The Championships, Wimbledon, Wimbledon title and third Grand Slam (tennis), major title overall.
With his loss to Djokovic in the final, Nadal ended his 20-match Wimbledon winning streak dating back to 2008 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles, 2008, having missed the 2009 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles, 2009 championships due to injury. It marked Nadal's fifth non-consecutive and last Wimbledon final. This was also the first time since 2002 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles, 2002 that neither Roger Federer nor Nadal won the title.
Both Nadal and Djokovic were in contention for the List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players, ATP no. 1 singles ranking. By winning his semifinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic gained the world No. 1 ranking for the first time, which marked the first time that neither Federer nor Nadal was ranked No. 1 since 2 February 2004.
This event marked two-time French Open finalist Robin Söderling's last major before being diagnosed with mononucleosis and eventually retiring from tennis.
