A look at some of the anniversaries this year at Wimbledon :
50 years ago 1975: Arthur Ashe and Billie Jean King win Wimbledon
Arthur Ashe became the first - and to this day, only - Black man to win the singles title at Wimbledon in 1975, beating defending champion Jimmy Connors 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 in the final. Also that year, Billie Jean King easily won her sixth - and, it turned out, last - singles championship at the All England Club, defeating Evonne Goolagong 6-0, 6-1. It also was the 19th of the 20 total Wimbledon trophies across singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles that King would win.
45 years ago 1980: Bjorn Borg collects his 5th Wimbledon title in a row
Bjorn Borg earned his fifth consecutive Wimbledon trophy in 1980, barely getting past rival John McEnroe 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 16, 8-6 in a final immediately - and still - considered one of the greatest tennis matches of all time. The fourth-set tiebreaker alone, known as The War of 1816, is still discussed with reverence.
