Michael Stich was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Pete Sampras.

Jim Courier was attempting to become the first man to achieve the Surface Slam (winning major titles on hard court, clay and grass in the same calendar year) after winning the Australian Open and French Open earlier in the year; he also attempted to win the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon in the same calendar year for the first time since Rod Laver in 1969. He lost to Andrei Olhovskiy in the third round.[2]

This was the last Wimbledon at which three-time champion John McEnroe and two-time champion Jimmy Connors competed.

This was the last tennis tournament in which Ivan Lendl represented Czechoslovakia. He gained citizenship of the United States on 7 July 1992, and from that point on represented the USA for the remainder of his tennis career.

Notes
  1. Ivanisević became the first player representing Croatia as an independent country following its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Nikola Pilić, who was the first Croatian to reach a Grand Slam final in the 1973 French Open, did so when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia.
