Pete Sampras was the two-time defending champion and won in the final 6–3, 6–4, 7–5 against Andre Agassi. With this victory, Sampras equalled Roy Emerson's record of twelve Grand Slam titles. Sampras' victory over Agassi in the final is often cited as one of his greatest performances. However, despite his victory, he lost his No. 1 ranking to Agassi the following day, when the ATP Tour rankings were updated.

This tournament is also notable as being the last Grand Slam former World No. 1 Boris Becker would partake in and the first Wimbledon appearance for future champions Lleyton Hewitt and Roger Federer.
