Defending champion Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the final, 7–6(7–5), 1–6, 7–6(7–4), 4–6, 13–12(7–3) to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships.

Djokovic became the second man and third singles player overall to win multiple major titles after saving match point during the tournament, after Rod Laver and Serena Williams.

At this tournament, Federer reached his 31st and last men's singles major final, an all-time record (later surpassed by Djokovic in 2022).

Aged 37 years, 11 months and 6 days, Federer was the oldest man to reach a major final since Ken Rosewall in the 1974 US Open.

This tournament marked the final professional appearance of Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis; he lost in the second round.
