Few Brits need reminding that, much like England and the World Cup, you have to dig out the history books to find the last British men’s singles winner at Wimbledon. In fact, you have to go much further back than 1966 – Fred Perry last won it in 1936. He also won it in 1934 and 1935 – perhaps he was trying to make up for the drought that was about to follow!
Andy Murray made the semi-finals in last year’s Championship and is currently looking to equal that feat this year as he takes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in this year’s quarter final.
Murray is in great form – 4th in the world and is the only player to have won all his games in straight sets thus far. Will the 75-year duck finally be broken?
