Novak Djokovic, aiming for his eighth Wimbledon title and 24th Grand Slam, lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.
Djokovic's frustration resulted in him damaging Wimbledon property with his racquet, leading to a $8,000 (£6,117) fine.
Despite the defeat and failure to make history, Djokovic congratulated Alcaraz on his second Grand Slam win.
Djokovic now prepares for his first US Open appearance in two years after previous Covid restrictions kept him from participating.
