Henri Cochet defeated the defending champion Jean Borotra in the final, 4–6, 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, 7–5 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1927 Wimbledon Championships. He saved a record six championship points, and became the first player to win three consecutive Grand Slam matches from two sets down, an achievement that went ummatched until Tommy Robredo did so at the 2013 French Open. Sidney Wood became the youngest competitor in the men's singles at Wimbledon at 15 years 231 days; he was defeated by René Lacoste in the first round. Meanwhile, George Greville became the oldest singles player in Wimbledon history, aged 59 when he was defeated in the first round.
