Djokovic tops Federer in epic Wimbledon final

Novak Djokovic outlasted Roger Federer in an epic five-set final Sunday, winning the first fifth-set tiebreaker in a Wimbledon's men's final to repeat as the Wimbledon men's champion for the second time and win his fifth title at the All-England Club overall.

The fifth-set tiebreaker was also the first in any men's final at the four Grand Slams.

The top-seeded Djokovic defeated Federer 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 13-12 (3) to remain unbeaten against the second seed in three Wimbledon final matchups. Djokovic also won in 2014 and '15 when he repeated as champion for the first time.
