April 2022 1936 Wimbledon Championships GBR Fred Perry GER Nazi Gottfried von Cramm 6–1, 6–1, 6–0 128 (10 Q Qualifiers) 8 grand slam 1936 Wimbledon Championships Two-time defending champion Fred Perry defeated Gottfried von Cramm in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–1, 6–1, 6–0 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1936 Wimbledon Championships.Barrett John Wimbledon: The Official History 2014 Vision Sports Publishing 9-781909-534230 4th Perry's victory was the last Wimbledon men's singles title won by a Briton until Andy Murray won in 2013. Progress of the competition Perry was on the verge of turning professional, and his decision to compete in the Wimbledon singles first was a risky one because losing would have made him less attractive to the professional ranks, whilst winning would ensure financially beneficial offers. His semifinal against Don Budge was a much harder match than the final against second-seeded Gottfried von Cramm, who sustained an injury during the match but insisted on seeing it through to the conclusion.Kevin Jefferys Fred Perry: British Tennis Legend https://books.google.com/books?id=BWkpDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT80 1 June 2017 Pitch Publishing 978-1-78531-291-5 80 The second-best British player, number 7 seed Henry "Bunny" Austin, who was already thirty, was defeated by von Cramm in the semifinals, but two years later he would go on to be the last Briton to contest a Men's Singles final before Andy Murray did so in 2012Himmat https://books.google.com/books?id=Mi6dB4xC7HkC 1977 R.M.
