List of British finalists at Grand Slam tennis Tournaments - wikipedia List of British finalists at Grand Slam tennis Tournaments Despite being the founders of the sport of tennis, Britain has not enjoyed much success in the four Grand Slams, the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. The most recent winner was Andy Murray, who won the 2016 Wimbledon title against Milos Raonic. The last woman to win a major was Virginia Wade, who won Wimbledon in 1977. The greatest British tennis player was Fred Perry. He is easily Britain 's most successful player ever, and the only one to have won all four Grand Slams. Angela Mortimer, Ann Haydon - Jones and Virginia Wade have won three of the Grand Slams. Andy Murray is the only British player, apart from Fred Perry, to have reached the final of all four Grand Slams. This table lists British Grand Slam singles tennis finalists. Competitors normally only competed in their home countries in the early years of the championships, and British players always won the men 's tournament at Wimbledon until 1906, and the women 's tournament until 1905.
