This tournament was the final major appearance for 2001 champion Goran Ivanišević, who announced his decision to retire following the tournament. He lost in the third round to 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt. Wayne Ferreira made his 55th consecutive main draw major appearance, surpassing the all-time record he had jointly held with Stefan Edberg.
This was the third year in Wimbledon history, after 1991 and 1997, that there was play on the Middle Sunday, due to bad weather in the first week.
