The Wimbledon Championships is one of the four Grand Slams throughout the tennis calendar and is regarded as the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.

Held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 1877, the esteemed knockout tournament has been played on grass courts, the traditional playing surface.

Australians have long featured in the tournament, dating back well into the 20th century, when Norman Brookes became the first Aussie to be titled a Wimbledon champion in 1907.

Many have followed suit over 124 years, with the latest success story coming from 'down under' being Ashleigh Barty in 2021.

16 Australians have won titles at Wimbledon, with several winning multiple throughout their careers.
