at wimbledon, murray made it through his first three matches without losing a set, his first round match, in which he defeated german benjamin becker, whom he had defeated at queen's club just weeks earlier, took murray's grand slam match wins total to 107, surpassing fred perry's total, making murray the british player with most all time match wins at grand slam tournaments. murray then beat lu yen-hsun of chinese taipei in round two, and spanish 32nd seed tommy robredo in the third, against whom murray hadn't played since 2009. in the fourth round match murray beat russian mikhail youzhny in straight sets despite going 5-2 down in the second set (which, like the previous round, was also the first meeting between the two since 2009). in the quarterfinals, murray met left-hander fernando verdasco of spain, who had beaten murray in their previous grand slam meeting. verdasco won the first two sets, before murray raised his level of play considerably, eventually coming through to win in five sets and reach his fifth consecutive wimbledon semifinal, tying him with john mcenroe in fourth place for most consecutive semifinals at wimbledon behind roger federer, jimmy connors and björn borg. murray faced jerzy janowicz of poland in the semifinals, against whom murray lost in the 2012 paris masters. despite dropping the opening set in a tiebreak, the scot eventually prevailed in four to set up a fourth grand slam final against novak djokovic, the second meeting between the two at sw19, and the first at the championships. murray defeated djokovic in straight sets (6-4, 7-5, 6-4) to become the first british man to win wimbledon since 1936, the first scot of either sex to win a wimbledon singles title since 1896, as well as becoming the 7th man in the open era to complete the queen's/wimbledon double. with the win, murray extended his winning streak on grass to 18 matches, his previous loss coming at the 2012 wimbledon final.
