The last British player to win a singles title at Wimbledon was Sir Andy Murray in 2016. Murray defeated Milos Raonic in straight sets to claim his second Wimbledon title, having previously won in 2013. This victory marked a historic moment for British tennis, as Murray became the first British man to win multiple Wimbledon singles titles since Fred Perry in the 1930s.

Since Murray's triumph in 2016, British tennis fans have been eagerly awaiting another homegrown champion at the prestigious grass court tournament. While there have been several British players who have made deep runs at Wimbledon in recent years, none have been able to replicate Murray's success and lift the coveted trophy.

Despite the absence of a British singles champion in recent years, the nation's tennis stars continue to make their mark on the international stage. Players like Johanna Konta and Dan Evans have reached the later stages of Grand Slam tournaments, showcasing the depth of talent within British tennis.

As tennis fans eagerly anticipate the next British singles champion at Wimbledon, the legacy of Sir Andy Murray's historic victories continues to inspire a new generation of players. With the support of the home crowd and a renewed sense of optimism surrounding British tennis, it may only be a matter of time before another British player follows in Murray's footsteps and claims glory at the All England Club.
