2018 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles
Novak Djokovic defeated Kevin Anderson in the final, 6–2, 6–2, 7–6(7–3) to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. It was his fourth Wimbledon title and 13th major title overall, passing Roy Emerson to outright fourth place on the all time men's singles major wins list. The win was also Djokovic's first title in over 12 months, his previous win having been at Eastbourne on July 1, 2017, and returned him to the top 10 in the rankings. The competition was contested by all but one of the top 20 male players at the time. Incidentally, this was the first and only time that an incumbent President and Vice President of the ATP Player Council faced each other in a final.
