Roger Federer's 2015 tennis season began on 4 January 2015 at the 2015 Brisbane International. Federer added a new tactic nicknamed the SABR to his strategy. Like the prior season, he reached 11 finals. Highlights from this season include winning his 1000th career match in Brisbane, surpassing 9000 aces in Dubai, winning his first red clay court title in almost 6 years at the Istanbul Open, and two major runner-up finishes at both Wimbledon and the US Open. Despite the success, Federer dropped a rank to No. 3, ending the year with 6 titles.
Andy Murray defeated Milos Raonic in the final, 6–4, 7–6(7–3), 7–6(7–2) to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. It was his second Wimbledon title and his third and final major title overall. Raonic became the first Canadian man to reach a major singles final. He was also the first non-European to reach the Wimbledon final since Andy Roddick in 2009, the first player born in the 1990s to reach a major final, and the first non-European to make any major final since Kei Nishikori at the 2014 US Open.
