Novak Djokovic is the three-time defending champion. He is attempting to become the fifth man in the Open Era (after Björn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal) to record a streak of at least four consecutive titles at one major. By reaching his 32nd men's singles major final, Djokovic surpassed the all-time record he had jointly held with Roger Federer. Djokovic also became the first player (male or female) to win 80 matches at all four majors with his first-round win over Kwon Soon-woo.
Nick Kyrgios became the first unseeded man to reach a major final since Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the 2008 Australian Open, the first Australian man to reach a major final since Lleyton Hewitt at the 2005 Australian Open, and the first unseeded or Australian man to reach a Wimbledon final since Mark Philippoussis in 2003.
Rafael Nadal was attempting to complete the first three components of a Grand Slam, but withdrew from the tournament before his scheduled semifinal match against Kyrgios due to a torn abdominal muscle. It is the first time a man withdrew from Wimbledon before a semifinal or final since Frank Shields in 1931. Furthermore, Nadal was vying to become the first man to achieve the double Surface Slam. Cameron Norrie became the fourth British man in the Open Era, after Roger Taylor, Tim Henman, and Andy Murray, to reach the semifinals. It was the first time two left-handed men (Norrie and Nadal) advanced to the semifinals since John McEnroe and Goran Ivanišević in 1992, and to the semifinals of any major since Jürgen Melzer and Nadal at the 2010 French Open.
This is the first Wimbledon since the introduction of the ATP rankings in 1973, and the first major since the 1999 Australian Open, where both the reigning world No. 1 and No. 2 (Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev, respectively) are not competing. Daniil Medvedev is prohibited from playing due to his Russian nationality, while Alexander Zverev has an ankle injury. Moreover, this marks the first edition of Wimbledon since 1998 not to feature record eight-time champion Roger Federer. Feliciano López made his 81st main-draw major appearance, tying Federer's all-time record. Additionally, this is the first edition of Wimbledon to feature a champions tie-break (10-point tie-break), when the score reaches six games all in the fifth set, and the third edition to feature a final set tie-break. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina defeated Hubert Hurkacz in the first round in the first main-draw 10-point tie-break at Wimbledon. Stan Wawrinka was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam, but lost to Sinner in the first round. John Isner broke Ivo Karlović's world record of 13,728 career aces on the ATP Tour in his third-round match against Jannik Sinner.
