Best Wimbledon Players of All Times

 Wimbledon has started with its full swing now and players are into the second round of the tournament. This Grand Slam Event has its own significance as its the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is considered the most prestigious.

Martina Navratilova

Martina is greatest Wimbledon champion of all time and also the greatest player in history of this game. She has won 20 Wimbledon titles in all, including a record nine Venus Rosewater Dishes for singles victories.

Roger Federer

This young Swiss fellow has won it six times and it seems he is here to win it again. Federer is just 27. He has the time and the ambition to possibly equal and supersede Pete Sampras’ record.

Pete Sampras

Sampras brought this title back home seven timesin all. Sampras won three trophies in a row from 1993-5, and then went on a streak of four trophies from 1997-2000. Andy Murray considers him to be the best men’s grass-court player of all time.

Bjorn Borg

The Swede who won Wimbledon five times was the Iceman of the courts. He brought glamour to this game. He famously never shaved during the tournaments. Borg was the first rock star of tennis, or lawn tennis as it was quaintly called back then.

Rod Laver

The Australian was such a gifted striker of the ball that it was said that he probably could have put down his racket, gone into the kitchen to fetch a frying pan, and still have come back and slammed aces. Laver won four Wimbledon titles.

Steffi Graf

Steffi Graf put a total of seven Wimbledon title in her sack. She still looks to be in such an excellent shape. I am sure if she had been given a wild card into this year’s Wimbledon tournament it would not have been altogether that surprising if she went on to make it to the second week.

Venus Williams

She is the finest grass-court player of her generation with a total of 5 Wimbledon titles in her name. In 2007 final, she was hitting the ball so violently that she made Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli’s wrist sting.

Helen Wills Moody

A serious woman and a serious champion. She managed to get the title seven times. She has been described as “the first American born woman to achieve international celebrity as an athlete.”

Boris Becker

The German was an unseeded 17-year-old when he won the 1985 Championships, beating Kevin Curren in the final. He was the youngest ever male winner, the first unseeded champion, and the first German winner, and he immediately became an overnight international sporting superstar.

Margaret Court

Big Marge dominated the tour in the Sixties and Seventies, winning her first two Wimbledon titles in 1963 and 1965.  She quit the circuit in 1966 to marry and start a family, but returned to the game and in 1970. In addition to her three Wimbledon trophies, Court won a total of 24 singles title.
