 | | Not only did William Charles Renshaw, a forceful right-handed aggressor, win an unequaled six straight Wimbledons from 1881, wresting the title from John Hartley, 6-0, 6-2, 6-1, but he added a record seventh title in 1889, defeating older (by 15 minutes) brother, Ernest Renshaw, in the title round, 6-4, 6-1, 3-6, 6-0. |
 | | England's Renshaw twins (Ernest was also right-handed) were rivals and accomplices. |
 | | Thrice Willie stopped Ernest for the Wimbledon title, but seven times between 1880 and 1889 they combined for the doubles championship a record later topped by one by the Doherty brothers, Laurie and Reggie. |
