Novak Djokovic defeated 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 Wimbledon title, third major title overall, and his first-ever title on grass courts. Nadal's loss ended his 20-match Wimbledon winning streak dating back to 2008 (having missed the 2009 championships due to injury). It was Nadal's fifth non-consecutive and last Wimbledon final.
Both Nadal and Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. By winning his semifinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic gained the world No. 1 ranking for the first time, and would eventually hold the position for a record total of 428 weeks. This marked the first time that neither Roger Federer nor Nadal was ranked No. 1 since 2 February 2004. This was also the first time since 2002 that neither Federer nor Nadal won the title.
This event marked the last major appearance of two-time French Open finalist Robin Söderling, as he would later be diagnosed with mononucleosis and eventually retire from tennis.
