Goran Ivanišević defeatedPatrick Rafter in the final, 6–3, 3–6, 6–3, 2–6, 9–7 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the2001 Wimbledon Championships. It was his first and onlymajor title, following three runner-up finishes (all atWimbledon in1992,1994, and1998). Ivanišević was the first unseeded player to win the title sinceBoris Becker in1985,^[1] and the first and onlywild card to win a men's singles major. His ranking improved by 109 places following the win, from world No. 125 to world No. 16.^[2][3] The final was held on the third Monday of the event in front of a boisterous crowd, after Ivanišević's semifinal againstTim Henman took three days to complete due to rain.

Pete Sampras was the seven-time (four consecutive) defending champion, but lost in the fourth round toRoger Federer. The Sampras–Federer match was the pair's only professional meeting, with Federer being 19 years old and the soon-to-be 30 year old Sampras retiring from the sport the following year. This was the first major in which Federer was seeded. Sampras was attempting to equalBjörn Borg's record of five consecutive Wimbledon titles (which Federer would himself achieve in2007) and win a record eighth men's singles Wimbledon title (which Federer would achieve in2017).^[4]

This was the year when Wimbledon expanded from 16 to 32 seeds.
