Andy Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a male singles champion at Wimbledon in 2013.
You're right to point out that it's
reasonably unusual for someone to regain the men's singles title at
Wimbledon. The first person to do this after the Second World War was
Rod Laver, as late as 1968, the first Open Wimbledon: he had previously
won as an amateur in 1961 and 1962. Since Laver, nine men have regained
the men's singles title after missing a year or more
- John Newcombe, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Stefan
Edberg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
