Roger Federer defeated Marin Čilić in the final, 6–3, 6–1, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles title at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships. It was his record eighth Wimbledon men's singles title and record-extending 19th major title overall. Federer did not lose a set during the tournament, the second man to do so at Wimbledon in the Open Era after Björn Borg in 1976. It was his record-equaling 70th appearance at a men's singles major, and a record eleventh men's singles final at the same major. With his third-round win over Mischa Zverev, Federer won his Open Era record 317th major singles match. With his first-round win, Federer surpassed Jimmy Connors' record for the most match wins at Wimbledon. In the same match, he hit his 10,000th career ace, only the third man to do so. This tournament marked the fifth season where Rafael Nadal won the French Open and Federer won Wimbledon.
