LONDON - Djokovic has won Wimbledon men's title.

He defeated Roger Federer 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4 for his second title at the All England Club.

Roger Federer won the last five games of the fourth set to take it 7-5 and force a deciding set.

Federer trailed 5-2 in the fourth set which featured five breaks of serve.

Djokovic thought he had a match point at 30-40 in the 10th game in the fourth set, but Federer challenged the call and the ball that was initially ruled out was on the line.

There has been only one service break through the first three sets - by Djokovic in the second set, only the second time Federer has had his service broken this tournament.

Both players were serving strongly and there were very few unforced errors in the high-quality match.

It was only the second time Federer and Djokovic have met in a Grand Slam final - Federer won in straight sets at the 2007 U.S. Open. READ MORE: Eugenie Bouchard loses women's Wimbledon final to Petra Kvitova

Djokovic fell awkwardly in the first game of the second set and called for a trainer immediately after he broke Federer's serve to take a 2-1 lead. The trainer worked on Djokovic's left ankle.

The Serbian player consolidated the only break after taking a 40-love lead that eventually went to deuce three times. Djokovic faced a break point - his first of the match - while serving for the second set but clinched it with an overhead smash.

Federer led 3-0 in the first-set tiebreaker but later had three unforced backhand errors to let Djokovic back into the decider. An ace and service winner later helped create set point, when Djokovic hit a backhand into the net. IN PHOTOS: Celebrities sit in the Royal Box at Wimbledon

Djokovic started serving strongly, losing only two points in his first four service games, and one of those came on a double-fault.
