It is only right that the 2014 Wimbledon Championships concluded with a classic for the ages between two legends.

Just one day after Petra Kvitova trumped Eugenie Bouchard in the ladies' final to usher in a new era, Novak Djokovic fended off a resilient Roger Federer in a final that signals the torch has not yet been passed and that two legends still have plenty in the tank.

Over the course of two weeks, upsets littered the proceedings in London, but two old rivals emerged from the bracket unscathed to duel in a rare finals meeting. Indeed, it turned out to be one for the history books.

Here is a look at the results from the final day in London, and the most notable of what was a classic tournament.



 

A Rivalry Rekindled Sparks a Classic



Go ahead and call the final on Centre Court Sunday an exorcism of demons for one Djokovic.

Entering the final with a 16-18 record against Federer and having lost their only previous grass-court meeting two years ago at the same event, which saw Federer through to win his seventh title, there was a lot for Djokovic to overcome.

Add in the fact he had lost five of his last six Grand Slam finals and stumbled into this particular one with strange lapses against players such as Marin Cilic and Grigor Dimitrov in the matches prior, and it's not an understatement to say that even he must have felt some lingering doubts—especially when Federer made his comeback bid late.

Alas, Djokovic rose to the occasion and had an answer for each rally from his rival.



Federer tallied 180 points won; Djokovic 186. The Swiss registered 29 unforced errors; Djokovic 27. Any time the momentum swung in his rival's favor, Djokovic—not the awkwardly slipping and sliding version from earlier matches in the tournament—found a way to one-up his adversary.
