    The greatest names at Wimbledon as COVID-19 halts 2020 Championships

    Some of the greatest tennis players have made their mark at Wimbledon

    There will be no tennis royalty or tennis champions at the All England Club in 2020. There are no matches at all at Wimbledon. The two-week grass-court Grand Slam tournament was supposed to be in the swing of things right now but was canceled for the first time in 75 years because of the coronavirus pandemic. What better time to take a look at some of those who have ruled Centre Court over the decades? Image Credit: AP

    Or the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, who have made sticking around for the full fortnight a family tradition: One or the other _ or both _ played in the women’s singles final in 16 of the past 20 years. They have accounted for a dozen singles titles in that span, seven for Serena (who also was the runner-up each of the past two years) and five for Venus, along with six in doubles as a pair.

    then, of course, there are the champions of long ago, such as Billie Jean King, who claimed a record 20 triumphs in all at the All England Club: six in singles, 10 in women’s doubles, four in mixed doubles. Image Credit: AP

    And, of course, Scotland's Andy Murray, who ended the wait for a British male singles winner at Wimbledon when he claimed the title in 2013. Fred Perry was the last British man to win way back in 1936. Murray also triumphed in 2016. Image Credit: REUTERS
