Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell defeated the defending champions Nikola Mektić and Mate Pavić in the final, 7–6(7–5), 6–7(3–7), 4–6, 6–4, 7–6(10–2) to win the gentlemen's doubles tennis title at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. It was their first major title as a team, and their second title of the season. They saved a total of eight match points en route to the title (three in their first-round match against Ben McLachlan and André Göransson, and five in their semifinal match against Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury), and twice recovered from two sets down, having been taken to five sets in five of the six matches they played.[1]

This was the first edition of Wimbledon to feature a champions[i] tiebreak (10-point tie-break) when the score reaches six games all in the fifth set,[2] and the third edition to feature a final-set tiebreak.[ii] Hans Hach Verdugo, Philipp Oswald, Roman Jebavý and Hunter Reese were the first players to contest this tiebreak in the gentlemen's doubles event, with the team of Hach Verdugo and Oswald saving a match point and winning the tiebreak 11–9 in their first-round match.

This marked the last time that Men's Doubles were played in the best-of-five sets as Wimbledon reduced men's doubles matches to best-of-three starting with the 2023 tournament.[3]
