How Many British Tennis Players Have Won At Wimbledon? Male and Female
Answers
Answer:
Despite being the founders of the sport of tennis, Britain has not enjoyed much success in the four Grand Slams; namely the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. The most recent British winner was Andy Murray who won Wimbledon in 2016, beating Milos Raonic in the final. The last woman to win a Grand Slam tournament was Virginia Wade who won Wimbledon in 1977, beating Betty Stove in the final.
The most successful British tennis player of all time was Fred Perry, who is the only Briton to have won all four Grand Slam tournaments. Angela Mortimer, Ann Haydon-Jones and Virginia Wade each won three of the Grand Slams. Andy Murray is the only British player, apart from Fred Perry, to have reached the final of all four Grand Slams.
