All-time favourite Wimbledon hotties

Boris Becker

Burly Boris shocked the tennis world when he became the youngest-ever winner of Wimbledon, aged just 17 in 1985.

Two more Wimbledon titles followed during a glittering career, and as his successes increased so did his rating on the 'hottie meter'.

Stefan Edberg

The blonde bombshell from Sweden took the Wimbledon title twice, in 1988 and 1990, while his intense persona and well-groomed appearance got the pulses racing in SW19.

Bjorn Borg

A true tennis legend, the Swede dominated the sport during the mid to late seventies with five Wimbledon titles.

His flowing locks and all-action approach ensured he was also a big hit with the ladies.

John McEnroe

Three-times Wimbledon winner McEnroe was Borg's nemesis on the court and provided a perfect antedote for those who preferred their men mean, moody and prone to an embarrassing public tantrum.

Jimmy Connors

Another American prone to the occasional on-court outburst, Connors, who won Wimbledon in 1974 and 1982, was seen as the acceptable face of umpire abusing because he always said sorry afterwards and was better looking than McEnroe.

Pat Cash

Cash only won one major career title - Wimbledon in 1987 - and despite the fact he wasn't always that complimentary about women tennis players, his rugged Aussie good looks and designer head band made him an eighties pin-up.

Pat Rafter

Like Cash, Rafter hails from Down Under and has won Wimbledon (in 2000 and 2001).

Unlike his predecessor, Rafter gained a reputation for being a thoroughly nice chap, which, combined with his obvious hotty rating, made him just the kind of tennis player you'd be happy to take home to meet your parents.

Tim Henman

OK, so as we all know, he never actually won Wimbledon, but his boyish charm and continued gallant failure, not to mention his refusal to wear long shorts, endeared him to many an English housewife.

Fred Perry

One British player who did lift the famous trophy (in 1934, 1935 and 1936) was Fred Perry and, believe me, the sight of him caressing fluffy balls on a hot summer's day while dressed in immaculate white flannels was enough to get even the most prudesh of thirties lady hot under the collar.
