Andy Murray was the defending champion, but lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals.
19-year-old Nick Kyrgios became the first man to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals on debut since Florian Mayer in 2004. Defeating the world No. 1, Rafael Nadal, in the fourth round, Kyrgios also became the lowest-ranked player to defeat the world No. 1 at a major since 1992 (when Andrei Olhovskiy defeated Jim Courier in the third round of Wimbledon) and the first wildcard to reach a major quarterfinal since Goran Ivanišević in 2001.
Although Nadal was world No. 1 entering the tournament, he was seeded second behind Djokovic due to his recent poor performances on grass (and notably his early exits at Wimbledon the previous two years).[1] By claiming the title, Djokovic replaced Nadal as the world No. 1. The final marked the first major men's singles final since the 2009 US Open to feature neither Murray nor Nadal, a span of 18 events.
