1973 Wimbledon Championships - Men's Singles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jan Kodes defeated Alex Metreveli 8-9 9-7 5-7 6-4 7-5 in the final to win the Gentlemen's Singles title at the 1973 Wimbledon Championships. Eighty-one of the top players boycotted Wimbledon in 1973 to protest the suspension of Nikki Pilic. This resulted in a large number of qualifiers and lucky losers.^[1]
