Very long final considering grass, the match lasted 3 hours 9 minutes (the last & longest game of the match: 11 minutes – the serving Murray led 40/0, then needed to save three break points) which is the longest 3-set Grand Slam final in history. In the Wimbledon ’99 final, Sampras defeated Agassi in 1 hour 55 minutes when they played just one game fewer than Murray-Djokovic. The Serbian led 4:1* in the 2nd & 4:2* in the 3rd set.
