Defending champion John McEnroe defeated Jimmy Connors in the final, 6–1, 6–1, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1984 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was his third Wimbledon singles title and sixth major singles title overall. The final was for a long time referred to as the greatest display in the history of tennis;[2] it lasted only 80 minutes and McEnroe made just four unforced errors during the entire match (none in the first set).
This tournament marked the first major appearance of future world No. 1, three-time Wimbledon champion, and six-time major champion Boris Becker. He would go on to win the title the following year.
