Quizzes test readers on Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles champions since the Open era

Multiple outlets run Wimbledon-themed quizzes focused on historical champions in tennis. BBC Sport publishes separate quizzes asking readers to name every Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles champion in the Open era. The Open era began in tennis in 1968, and the questions cover champions across the following decades. Yardbarker also offers related quizzes for both men’s and women’s singles, similarly focusing on champions since the Open era. Yardbarker’s men’s quiz notes that Wimbledon began in 1877 and states that not all years feature a champion due to interruptions from major events, including the First World War (1915–1918) and the Second World War (1940–1945). Yardbarker also highlights a modern disruption: Wimbledon is not held in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In its men’s quiz, Yardbarker adds that last names are acceptable answers, while its women’s quizzes reiterate the 1968 start point for the Open era and the 2020 cancellation. The quizzes are designed to test recognition of past winners rather than report new results.
