A look at some of the anniversaries this year at Wimbledon:

50 years ago (1975): Arthur Ashe and Billie Jean King win Wimbledon

Arthur Ashe became the first — and still only — Black man to win the Wimbledon singles title, defeating defending champion Jimmy Connors 6–1, 6–1, 5–7, 6–4. That same year, Billie Jean King claimed her sixth and final Wimbledon singles title with a 6–0, 6–1 win over Evonne Goolagong. It was the 19th of her 20 Wimbledon titles across all events.

45 years ago (1980): Bjorn Borg collects fifth straight title

Bjorn Borg earned his fifth consecutive Wimbledon crown in 1980, edging John McEnroe 1–6, 7–5, 6–3, 6–7 (16), 8–6 in a final widely regarded as one of the greatest matches in tennis history.

40 years ago (1985): Anne White’s bodysuit makes headlines

Anne White drew attention in 1985 when she wore a full white bodysuit for her first-round match against Pam Shriver. After play was suspended due to darkness, she was asked to wear more traditional attire for the resumed match, which she lost.

35 years ago (1990): Martina Navratilova wins record ninth title

Martina Navratilova defeated Zina Garrison 6–4, 6–1 in the final to capture her record ninth Wimbledon singles title. It was her 18th and final Grand Slam championship, tying Chris Evert for the Open era record at the time.

25 years ago (2000): Pete Sampras claims seventh Wimbledon title

Pete Sampras beat Patrick Rafter 6–7 (10), 7–6 (5), 6–4, 6–2 to win his seventh Wimbledon title and 13th major overall, setting a then-record for men’s Grand Slam championships. He added a 14th with his 2002 U.S. Open victory.

15 years ago (2010): Isner and Mahut battle in record match

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut played the longest match in tennis history at Wimbledon in 2010, stretching over three days and 11 hours, 5 minutes. Isner eventually won 70–68 in the fifth set, prompting rule changes at Grand Slam events to prevent marathon final sets.

10 years ago (2015): Serena Williams completes a ‘Serena Slam’

Serena Williams won Wimbledon in 2015 with a 6–4, 6–4 victory over Garbiñe Muguruza, completing her second “Serena Slam” — four consecutive Grand Slam titles. At 33, she became the oldest woman to win a major singles title in the Open era.

5 years ago (2020): Wimbledon is canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic

Wimbledon was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, marking the first time since World War II the tournament wasn’t held. Roger Federer responded with a one-word message on social media: “Devastated.”

Wimbledon moves into its final stretch this week at the All England Club, with the women’s semifinals set for Thursday and the men’s semifinals on Friday. The women’s final will be played Saturday, followed by the men’s championship match on Sunday, closing out the third Grand Slam tournament of the year.
