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 the 2007 US Open and 2014 Wimbledon Championships. Federer got the first break of serve in the match, during the first set, yet Djokovic quickly broke back leveling the match.https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/tennis/2015/07/12/novak-djokovic-roger-federer-wimbledon/30046229/ Novak Djokovic beats Roger Federer for third Wimbledon title Nick Marvel USA Today 12 July 2015 13 July 2015https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/tennis/33499557 Wimbledon 2015: Novak Djokovic beats Roger Federer in final Piers Newbery BBC Sport 12 July 2015 13 July 2015 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. The second set was a closely fought affair, but was decided to Federer's edge in the tiebreak. 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. This put Djokovic eighth on the all-time list of Men's Grand Slam singles champions, and putting him fifth during the Open Era. He now possesses as many Wimbledon singles titles, as his coach Boris Becker won in his career. Ladies' singles 2015 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles USA Serena Williams def.
