1999 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles

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-breaking sixth Wimbledon title (surpassing Björn Borg's Open Era record) and record-equalling twelfth major singles title overall (matching Roy Emerson's all-time record). Sampras' victory over Agassi in the final is often cited as one of the greatest performances in a Wimbledon final.[2] However, 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.
