Carlos Alcaraz, the top-ranked player, prevented Novak Djokovic's bid for a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title, as well as his fifth consecutive championship at the grass-court tournament. Djokovic also was kept from claiming his 24th career major.

Rather than seeing 36-year-old Novak Djokovic of Serbia make history as the oldest male champion at Wimbledon in the Open era, it was 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz from Spain who claimed that distinction. Alcaraz became the third-youngest Wimbledon champion, while the age difference between the two players was the most significant in any men's Grand Slam final since 1974.
