Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz[1] defeated Novak Djokovic in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–2, 6–2, 7–6(7–4) to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships.[2] [3] It was his second Wimbledon title and fourth major title overall, and he became the sixth (and youngest) man in the Open Era to complete the Channel Slam. Alcaraz became the second man in the Open Era, after Roger Federer, to win all of his first four major finals.

Djokovic was vying for a 25th major singles title.[4] The tournament featured 37 five-set matches, the most at any edition of a major in the Open Era, breaking the previous record of 35 jointly held by the 1983 US Open and 2024 Australian Open.[5] [6] Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard became the first lucky loser to reach the fourth round since Dick Norman in 1995.[7]
