Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi later that day speaking over wedding ! Wedding was one year later - as far as I know only couple of Wimbledon champions ! Good luck -still together !!
A who's who of tennis from the 20th century. Sadly, many of them are not around today. I've never seen a collection of champions such as this before or since. It brings back so many good memories of watching matches.
@@normadesmond6017 People like tennis players or dislike them for various reasons. I disliked McEnroe for the obvious reasons, but my spouse liked him, each of us for different reasons. Can't deny Johnny Mac was a good player, he was, but his attitude sucked! Just like I liked Chris Evert and couldn't stand Billie Jean King!

There is NO NEED to grunt and squeal every time you hit the ball, that's just no class! (I don't expect anyone to agree with me and that's fine -- everyone is entitled to their own opinion!)

Terrific to see some of my old favorites again, of 45+ years ago, still looking great in 2000. I don't know how many hours I was glued to the tube watching some of these players, years ago, but it's really nice to see them so many years later! I'm watching this in mid-2022 and some of the early players have gone on to their eternal reward now, but we thank all of the players for entertaining us so well, for so long, bless them all. Thank you for this post, it was wonderful though a bit emotional to see all the players again!
Nostalgic tennis memories. I am not a tennis player but mad about the game. Rod Laver, Margaret Court, Chris evert, Steffi Graf, Agassi, and many others come to mind.
Yeah I love how they honor lesbians, and Chrissie who sacrificed a baby for her career. Who gives glory to Jesus Christ? The everlasting glories will be different in God's Kingdom.
This is so special. Watching in 2022. Even though I’m English, was always a fan of John McEnroe and Martina, but, it was good to have a British winner in 1977 Silver Jubilee year, well done Ms Wade.
What a classy ceremony. Great to see Peter Fleming, a true gentleman, responsible for keeping Junior in check in many tournaments. The pride of Chatham, NJ. Good man.
Great to hear the roar of the crowd which greeted Evonne Goolagong Cawley. Pity they misspelled her name CRAWLEY! A magical player whose performances we need to see far more of.
Not only calling her Crawley, but also crediting her with a mixed doubles title she never won! Evonne won the ladies doubles in 1974. Maybe that's what they're thinking of? She's often credited for Helen Cawley's doubles win in 1977 - the year Evonne didn't play Wimbledon!
@@JKMMOC I don't know where you're from sorry. Crawley is a place in the County of West Sussex England. Maybe it's a mistake but they should have got the title right.
@M A good point; but please call it football. That's what it's known as in Britain, its historical organised home. In Europe too, where it's very successful. (Champions League Football Final.) So name change please. Or if you must....give it its original title. Association Football. Cheers mate, 🇬🇧 from Kensington and Chelsea in London.
Notable y emocionante este espectacular "Recuerdo a los Campeones", que realmente impacta a los que amamos el tenis. Ver cómo se mantiene Rod Laver iDios mío, increíble!! , y Alex Olmedo ??... que hermosas son todavía Chris Evert, Conchita Martínez, Steffi Graff, Martina Navatrilova etc. Y que añoranzas ver a John Mac Enroe, Stefan Edberg que hermoso tenis tenía, Stan Smith un caballero del tenis, Bjon Borg !!! en fin, que bello homenaje. Gracias Wimbledon!!
Just saw this terrific array of champions from my and previous and later eras. Seeing those aussie champs from the sixties was really special. I was a ball boy in 1969 at Aust. Open in Brisbane for Laver, Roche, Court, King, Casals, Gonzalez etc. I carried out racquets for Laver and Gonzalez for centre court matches in 1969 - Pancho had 7 racquets all with his name embossed on the covers !! I thought that was the height of stardom !!!! Try carrying 7 racquets as an 11 year old !! I carried Billie Jeans racquets on before a match and after she won she gave me 2 x 20c coins to go and buy us soft drinks and we sat down and chatted in the players area for a time. When Laver played Roche in the semi-final that year it was the longest match in Open history, the players came off after the 3rd set i think to shower and change, the line umpires and ball boys all changed over but i gave my 50c payment to some kid and i took his place to go back out. I knew something special was happening. Laver, Roche, probably the central umpire and me were the only ones to be on the court for the whole match. That's my claim to fame and no-one can take that off me. Laver was the greatest.
The incomparable Manolo/Manuel Santana (1938-2021) - the player who inspired me to play the game. The Roger Federer of his era, class, grace and personality.
I was missing Jimmy here too. He was my favorite during his era. He must have been invited to this ceremony. Actually, over the years I noticed he doesn’t seem to attend these occasional major reunions at the U.S. Open & Wimbledon. Maybe tennis reunions aren’t his thing. Our loss. 🙁
I'm born in 67, so I haven't seen all these champions play, but I can say that I loved McEnroe, Edberg, Borg, but if I have to be honest, the player that most of all excited me for her attack game on the grass was Martina Navratilova, never again anyone like her
Thanks for the likes - here's another one. Type in 1969 Australian Open semi final and there is some vision of the match in various videos and in the 6 minute one you'll see a little fella standing at the net at 3 min 30 secs after Roche loses a point to Laver to go up 21-20 in the second set. THAT LITTLE BUGGA IS ME !!! Serve and volley for nearly five hours in 100 degree heat in January in Brisbane. Crazy yeh !
He may not have won as many times as other champions, but Wimbledon knew how much "they" recognised and respected Rod Laver. As you entered the men's change room on a wall opposite was a photo of Rocket and the four years he was the winner, underneath it said - Champion. Nothing else.
Such a thoughtful, and efforts of made this beautiful, heartwarming event happened. Thanks to all who’s concerned. Thank you for the post. I’m appreciated.
I am a 90 yr old active leftie tennis player living in a Senior Resort in Laguna Woods. It was great to go back down memory lane with the tennis stars of the Past many of whom I have seen playing tennis in my home country of Englad - Wimbledon in person. Tennis is a great life and keeps you young.
The synonym for transcendence is Rafa. Just to be clear that transcendence is not in the category of superlatives. Transcendence is the dissolution of thought that attempts to describe. It is prior to and beyond every description. Rafa is not superhuman. On the contrary, he is fully human - he fully embraces suffering, he fully breathes self-doubt, he fully respects each and every player, each and every human being across the planet, he fully respects every tennis 🎾 racquet if he's not smashed a single one, he fully loves Real Madrid, he fully respects Roger and Novak, he fully loves humanity. Transcendence when lived is humility, humility, humility. Rafa!

Thank you! Was trying to figure out what year this was filmed. Lovely to see them all!
I'm 68 now and can remember a lot of these fantastic players. My hero was Rod Laver
Yes, Laver was a great player. He would be horrified to see what is going on today.
I think Laver is very impressed by champion today
This is very emotional to watch seeing all these wonderful champions that I love and remember watching for so many years.
Good old days when we were glued to our TV sets to watch Wimbledon, US open, French open and Australian open.
The good old days!
Still am! 😊
Hats off for gathering all the rare gems of winning title in Wimbledon and honoring them. A rare sight of shining stars together with their honours.
Chris and Martina are such besties. Sitting there chatting away and happy for each other.

What a fantastic lineup. And more fantastic that Ivanisevic won the year after!
A Historical Gem For Tennis Fans ! As a youngster, I followed faithfully the exploits of some of these champions on the sport pages.
Wimbledon recognising and reintroducing past champions is really commendable!!
They should have given tribute to those who couldn’t come like connors
Stefan Edberg, great eulogy and what an ovation.
Reminds me of a better time in the world. What a lot of graceful champions & very fit. Very celebratory & classy.
this was sorta emotional for me...incredible, how attached you get to "the players of your day". I grew up, watching SEVERAL of these players.
So did I. I grew up in tennis' heyday, the 70s and 80s ... the days of Evert, Navratilova, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Graf, Agassi, Becker and more.
