Wimbledon came into being in the year 1877, with the men's single being its debut tournament. In fact, for the next seven years, it continued to be the only championship being organized as a part of Wimbledon. It was only in 1884 that Men's Doubles category and Women's Singles Category were added. Wimbledon Men's Singles Championship had Spencer Gore as its first winner, who beat William Marshall with sets of 6-1, 6-2, 6-4.
