History

How it began

The first championship, in 1877, was a men's singles event, won by Spencer Gore. Women's singles and men's doubles were first played in 1884, and women's doubles and mixed doubles in 1913.

Champions by era

The lists split the finals at 1968, when the Open Era began. Since then the most men's singles titles are Federer's 8, and all nine of Navratilova's women's singles titles came in the Open Era.
