Can you name every Wimbledon women's champion in the Open Era?

To celebrate Virginia Wade's 77th birthday, Sports Mole challenges you to name every Wimbledon women's singles champion of the Open Era.

One day after Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina made history at SW19, British tennis trailblazer Virginia Wade celebrates her 77th birthday, as we look back at the three-time major winner's stunning exploits.

Wade won her third and final Grand Slam singles' title at the 1977 edition of Wimbledon, beating Betty Stove of the Netherlands in a three-set final to add to her 1968 US Open and 1972 Australian Open successes.

Doubles triumphs at Roland Garros means that Wade is still the only British woman to win titles at all four Grand Slam events, and she held the record of being the most recent British female player to win a Grand Slam for 44 years before Emma Raducanu's 2021 US Open triumph.

Wade could hardly be blowing out her candles at a more appropriate time, and here, Sports Mole challenges you to name every Wimbledon women's singles champion of the Open Era.
