How the Wimbledon Champions Archive screensaver works

Each entry shows the real champion, real country and real year.
Entries rotate through the full real history on a timer.
No live feed is required — the archive is a real, curated historical record.
Wimbledon champions in the Open Era
The Championships at Wimbledon have been held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 1877 and are described as the oldest tennis tournament in the world. Professionals were barred until the Open Era began in 1968, which is where this archive starts. Rod Laver won the first Open Era gentlemen’s title.
Roger Federer holds the record of eight gentlemen’s singles titles. The champions listed here come from a wide spread of countries across Europe, North America and Australia, so the list also works as a tour of which nations dominated tennis in each period.
The tournament was not held in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so there is no champion for that year; it was also cancelled for both world wars, though those years fall before the Open Era. The archive covers only the gentlemen’s singles. The ladies’ singles and the doubles events have their own champions, which are not shown here.
A worked example
A champion who won several real consecutive titles appears across multiple entries in rotation, each with its own real year.
