Jimmy Connors defeated defending champion John McEnroe in the final, 3–6, 6–3, 6–7^(2–7), 7–6^(7–5), 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1982 Wimbledon Championships.^[1][2] It was his second Wimbledon title and sixth major title overall. The final was the first Wimbledon match in history that was deliberately scheduled to take place on a Sunday.

A number of high-profile players were absent from this tournament for various reasons. This included five-time champion Björn Borg, who refused to play after officials required him to play in a qualifying tournament due to being absent from the tour injured for most of 1982; Ivan Lendl and Eliot Teltscher both withdrew citing difficulty playing on the grass courts; and Argentine players Guillermo Vilas and José Luis Clerc withdrew in protest to their country's conflict with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands.^[3][4]
