Main article: 1999 Wimbledon Championships

Two-time defending champion Pete Sampras successfully defended his title, defeating Andre Agassi in the final, 6–3, 6–4, 7–5 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships. With the win, his sixth at Wimbledon, Sampras broke Björn Borg's Open Era record of five Wimbledon titles, and equalled Roy Emerson's then-record of twelve major titles. Sampras's victory over Agassi in the final is often cited as one of the greatest performances in a Wimbledon final. However, despite his victory, Sampras lost the world No. 1 ranking to Agassi, who had recently won the French Open.

This tournament is also notable as being the last major in which former world No. 1 Boris Becker competed, and the first Wimbledon appearances for future champions Lleyton Hewitt and Roger Federer.
