1968 Wimbledon Championships

List of the 1968 Wimbledon Champions. This tournament marked the dawn of a new era for Wimbledon, as it became the second Grand Slam to allow professionals to compete. Champions Laver and King had already won Wimbledon twice before in the amateur era. Ann Haydon-Jones became the first British champion; Britain would have to wait 9 years, until the 1977 tournament to see a British winner in the singles competition — Virginia Wade.
