Men's singles of the Wimbledon Championships 2012 .

Defending champion Novak Đoković was eliminated in the semifinals against Roger Federer . This met in the final, which had to be finished under a closed roof due to rain, on Andy Murray , who was the first Briton since Henry Austin in 1938 to reach the final in the men's singles of this tournament. Unlike in his previous three Grand Slam finals, Murray was able to win a set this time, but in the end lost the match in four sets against Federer. For Federer it was the seventh title in Wimbledon after 2003 , 2004 , 2005 , 2006 , 2007 and 2009 , he drew level with Pete Sampras . Overall, it was his seventeenth Grand Slam title, with which he further expanded his own record. With the world ranking points he gained, he moved back to first place in the world tennis ranking for the first time in over two years , thereby also improving Sampras' record of 286 weeks at the top of the world ranking.

The biggest surprise of the tournament was the second round defeat of the two-time Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal against the world number 100. Lukáš Rosol . It was the first time since the US Open in 2005 that Nadal was eliminated in the first week of a Grand Slam tournament. The two Germans Philipp Kohlschreiber and Florian Mayer both reached the quarter-finals. For Kohlschreiber it was the first Grand Slam quarter-finals of his career; Mayer had also been in his only Grand Slam quarter-finals eight years earlier at Wimbledon.
