(Redirected from 1984 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles)

Defending champion John McEnroe defeated Jimmy Connors in the final, 6–1, 6–1, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1984 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was his third Wimbledon singles title and sixth major singles title overall. The final was for a long time referred to as the greatest display in the history of tennis;[2] it lasted only 80 minutes and McEnroe made just four unforced errors during the entire match (none in the first set).
