Bjorn Borg won the Wimbledon Men's Singles Championship in 1977, defeating Jimmy Connors in the final. This was part of Borg's dominance at Wimbledon during the late 1970s. John McEnroe won his first Wimbledon in 1981, Boris Becker won in 1985, and Arthur Ashe never won Wimbledon (his major wins were at the US Open and Australian Open).
