This was the first edition of Wimbledon to feature a champions tie-break (10-point tie-break) when the score reaches six games all in the fifth set, and the third edition to feature a final set tie-break. Hans Hach Verdugo, Philipp Oswald, Roman Jebavý and Hunter Reese were the first players to contest this tiebreak in the gentlemen's doubles event, with the team of Hach Verdugo and Oswald winning the tiebreak 11–9 in their first-round match.

This marked the last time that Men's Doubles were played in the best of five sets as Wimbledon reduced men's doubles matches to best of three from next year's tournament.
