This is a very tough group! John Feaver reached Wimbledon 2nd round in 1976. He then played John Newcombe and served 42 aces ( a Wimbledon record for over 20 years) against him on the notorious 'Graveyard Court 2'....but lost in 5 sets. The Guardian next day reported the match and said 'If John Feaver ever writes a coaching manual it will be a slim volume consisting of one tip. Get your opponent on a fast bumpy court and serve aces at him!'

WooHoo.  Another newbie decloaks.

Welcome to the board. The more the merrier.

Tough pick here. I have very fond memories of watching Jonny win Wimbledon. But Mike Sangster was the first British male player I can remember watching as a child and my Mum was a huge fan of his, so I voted for him in memory of her.
