Novak Djokovic def.Roger Federer, 7–6(7–1), 6–7(10–12), 6–4, 6–3Prior to the finals, the two had faced off 39 times, with Federer having won the most matches,20–19. At the time of the finals Djokovic was ranked No. 1 and Federer at No. 2. This encounter was their third meeting in a Grand Slam final, when the last two previous were split between the two at the2007 US Open and2014 Wimbledon Championships. Federer got the first break of serve in the match, during the first set, yet Djokovic quickly broke back leveling the match.[11][12] When Djokovic was serving to remain in the first set, he had to fend off two set points from Federer, which he eventually got the set into a tiebreak, and it was a lopsided tiebreak that sent Djokovic up one set to none.[11][12] The second set was a closely fought affair, but was decided to Federer's edge in the tiebreak.[11][12] The last two sets were rather uneventful in the spectrum of the match because Djokovic got the breaks of serve, allowing him to win his third Wimbledon title, and second in a row.[11][12] This put Djokovic eighth on the all-time list ofMen's Grand Slam singles champions, and putting him fifth during the Open Era.[11][12] He now possesses as manyWimbledon singles titles, as his coachBoris Becker won in his career.[11][12]
Serena Williams def.Garbiñe Muguruza, 6–4, 6–4This was their first encounter in a Grand Slam final, whilst all of the past meetings, occurred in Grand Slam events, from the first-time playing each other at the2013 Australian Open, thatSerena Williams won the match in two sets, during this second round match.[13] Their next contest occurred, at the2014 French Open in the second round, yet this time aroundGarbiñe Muguruza, turned the tables to with the match in two sets.[13] The third tie came, at the2015 Australian Open, and it went three sets in a fourth round encounter, to the eventual victory by Serena in three sets.[13] This bout would be their fourth meeting, and it got off to a rocky start by Serena, who served up three double faults, in order to get broken, during the first game of the match.[14][15] Muguruza would get out to a four games to two advantage, when Williams held serve, and let out a "Come On".[14][15] This rallied the twenty-time Grand Slam champion to win the first set, 6–4, when she broke the serve of Muguruza.[14][15] Serena would get off to a fast start, during the second set, that she ended up getting breaks of serve from Muguruza in the fourth and sixth games of the set, to go up to a five games to one advantage.[14][15] The momentous meaning the match held, for Williams ended up hitting her, when she had two bad service games, getting broken, letting Muguruza to come back to a five games to four set.[14][15] This allowed Muguruza, the opportunity to serve in an attempt to stay in the match and set, yet she quickly got down in a love–40 hole, which she could not escape.[14][15] The victory gave Serena her second "Serena Slam", and that was with the2014 US Open win counted from the previous year.[14][15] This victory was her twenty-first Grand Slam singles title, putting her one behindSteffi Graf in the Open Era of tennis, and three behind the all-time record held byMargaret Court.[14][15] The win meant she became the oldest women's singles Grand Slam champion in the Open Era of tennis, besting the mark previously set byMartina Navratilova.[3]
