Two-time defending champion Pete Sampras defeated Andre Agassi in the final, 6–3, 6–4, 7–5 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was his record sixth Wimbledon title (surpassing Björn Borg's Open Era record) and twelfth major men's singles title overall (matching Roy Emerson's all-time record). Sampras' victory over Agassi is often cited as one of the greatest performances in a Wimbledon final.[2] Despite his victory, Sampras lost the world No. 1 ranking to Agassi, who had recently won the French Open and was attempting to complete the Channel Slam.

This tournament marked the last major appearance for former world No. 1 and three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, and marked the first Wimbledon appearances for future champion and world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt and future eight-time champion and world No. 1 Roger Federer.
