Defending champion Björn Borg defeated Jimmy Connors in the final, 3–6, 6–2, 6–1, 5–7, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships.[1] [2] It was his second Wimbledon title and fourth major title overall.
This marked the first Wimbledon singles appearance of future three-time champion John McEnroe, who entered as a qualifier and reached the semifinals before losing to Connors. It was also the final major appearance of four-time Wimbledon champion and eleven-time Grand Slam tournament champion Rod Laver.
