Two-time defending champion Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–2, 7–6, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title in less that two hours at the 2005 Wimbledon Championships. It was his third Wimbledon title and fifth major title overall. It was the second of three years that Federer defeated Roddick in the final (following 2004 and preceding 2009). It was also the pair's third straight meeting at Wimbledon, after the 2003 semifinals and the 2004 final. It was Federer's most dominant finals performance at Wimbledon in a tournament where he only dropped one set, describing it as "maybe the best match of my life."

This was the first major in which future world No. 1 and two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray competed in the main draw; and the first Wimbledon for future world No. 1 and seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic. Both players were defeated in the third round: Djokovic lost to Sébastien Grosjean in four sets, while Murray lost to David Nalbandian after leading two sets to love; it would be the only professional match that Murray lost from two sets up. By reaching the third round, Djokovic entered the top 100 in the ATP rankings for the first time in his career.
