The winner of six major titles in singles, and a player who could alter his game markedly to give himself the best possible chance against daunting adversaries, Tony Wilding stepped up boldly to win Wimbledon four years in a row (1910-13). Also the victor twice at the Australian Championships, he did not lose a match at that event during his career. A spirited man who thrived when competing in Davis Cup, Wilding led the Australasian squad to four triumphs in that forum. Wilding lost his life fighting in World War I at the age of 31.
