Boris Becker was 17 years old when he won the 1985 Championships, becoming the youngest ever winner of the gentlemen's singles title. "What I remember most from winning Wimbledon at 17 was that people suddenly looked at me differently – they thought I was from planet Mars. They thought I had done something I wasn't supposed to do, something that shouldn't have been possible. But I did it. And then I did it at 18, just to make the point."
