Henry Searle becomes first Briton to win Wimbledon boys’ title since England football legend’s son
Remember the name Henry Searle...
The 17-year-old from Wolverhampton has become the first Briton to win the Wimbledon boys' singles title since 1962.
The 61-year wait for a British winner is over, with the last person having to achieve that feat being Stanley Matthews Jr - son of England football legend Stanley Matthews.
Searle now joins an iconic list of names to have won the Wimbledon boys' singles title like Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Roger Federer.
It is a prestigious title that Andy Murray never won, despite going on to win the senior title.
Meanwhile, in more recent years, Liam Broady and Jack Draper have made the final but lost.
