Boris Becker defeated Kevin Curren in the final, 6–3, 6–7^(4–7), 7–6^(7–3), 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1985 Wimbledon Championships.^[1] It was his first major title. He was the first unseeded player and the first German to win the Wimbledon men's singles title, and became the youngest-ever male major singles champion aged 17 years, 7 months and 15 days (this record would later be broken by Michael Chang at the 1989 French Open).
