Explanation
Spencer Gore won the inaugural Wimbledon Men's singles championship in 1877, defeating William Marshall in the final. William Renshaw was a dominant champion in the 1880s but not the first. Richard Sears was the first US Open (then called the US National Championship) winner, and Rod Laver is a much later champion from the 1960s.
