# 1987 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles

Pat Cash defeated Ivan Lendl in the final, 7–6$^{(7–5)}$, 6–2, 7–5 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1987 Wimbledon Championships. It was his first and only major title. For the second consecutive year, Lendl was attempting to complete both the career Grand Slam and the Channel Slam.
Boris Becker was the two-time defending champion, but lost in the second round to Peter Doohan.
This marked the first Wimbledon appearance of future champion Andre Agassi, losing in the first round to Henri Leconte. Agassi would not compete at Wimbledon again until 1991 due to his disagreement with the All England Club's all-white dress code.
