Andre Agassi defeated Goran Ivanišević in the final, 6–7(8–10), 6–4, 6–4, 1–6, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1992 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was his first major title, and his first leg of an eventual career Grand Slam. Ivanisević became the first Croatian representing Croatia to reach a major final.[a]
This tournament marked the last Wimbledon singles appearances for three-time champion John McEnroe and for two-time champion Jimmy Connors.
This was the last professional tennis tournament in which Ivan Lendl represented Czechoslovakia. He gained citizenship of the United States on 7 July 1992, and from then on represented the USA for the remainder of his tennis career.
^Ivanisević became the first player representing Croatia as an independent country following its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Nikola Pilić became the first Croatian to reach a major final at the 1973 French Open, but did so when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia.
