2000 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles

Three-time defending champion Pete Sampras successfully defended his title, defeating Pat Rafter in the final, 6–7(10–12), 7–6(7–5), 6–4, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2000 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was Sampras' seventh Wimbledon title and 13th Grand Slam title overall. The win equaled William Renshaw's all-time record of Wimbledon titles, and was an Open Era record in the Gentleman's Singles until 2017, when Roger Federer won his eighth title. His victory also meant he surpassed Roy Emerson as the overall leader in men's major singles titles.[2]
