True, but the last MENS champion at Wimbledon was Fred Perry 77 years ago. And Murray has been trying for about a decade to end the loss streak.
The Seldom Killer:
Ah sorry, did realise you were only refering to the men's side of the tournament. There's been a bit of a storm in the UK over Wade being airbrushed out of history just for a more emotive headline.
It strikes a chord with me as a campaigner for better gender equality in sports. Ironically, Wimbledon is one of the few tournaments to offeran equal purse for men and women. Of course Wade's win was as meritorious as Murray's.
Patrick:
who the hell watches men's tennis anyway, half the fun of watching tennis is the shit-hot Russian girls in skirts
GarandMarine:
....there's men's tennis?

Virginia Wade is British and she won 40 years ago.

And I remember watching that match. She beat Chris Evert-Lloyd. And sportingly offered to replay a ball, when Evert-Lloyd complain about a call by one of the referees. Something that I remember from my youth is considered ancient history :psyduck: :psyduck:
God. I'm getting old.
May be it was Evert's first serve that Wade agreed to let her redo?
