Wimbledon is one of the most important tournaments in the world of tennis.
The first edition of the tournament took place in 1877, and many great champions passed through the grounds of the All England Club.
Especially since 1968, the Open Era, and various records are being held, and the question is when they will be broken.
Most of them were defeated in the Open Era, so Roger Federer, for example, holds the record in trophies won in singles on the London grass – there are 8 of them in his rich career.
Björn Borg and Roger Federer hold the record with five titles won in a row, although William Renshaw won 6 of them in the period from 1881 to 1886.
However, it should be noted that at Wimbledon until 1922, it was the rule that the winner of the tournament next season would play directly in the final of the tournament.
Todd Woodbridge holds the record with nine doubles titles won.
However, he did not come to so many trophies with only one partner.
He won six titles with Mark Woodford, and three with Jonas Bjorkman.
In the women’s competition, Martina Navratilova won the most trophies in London – as many as nine.
She won them all in the singles competition.
In the double competition, the record holder is Billy Jean King with as many as 10 trophies.
Roger Federer recorded the most victories at Wimbledon in the men’s competition – 95, while in the women’s competition it was Martin Navratilov – 120.
Bjern Borg has the best win-loss ratio of 51-4 (92.72%) in the men’s competition, while Stefi Graf 75-8 (90.36%) left a deep mark in the women’s competition.
