Jan Kodeš of Czechoslovakia beat Alex Metreveli of the Soviet Union 6-1, 9-8, 6-3 in the first Wimbledon singles final with a tiebreak, after a five-set semifinal against Roger Taylor, who had beaten a 17-year-old Björn Borg.

About Champs Ring prints
Champs Ring is the original radial sports bracket. Hyperakt's Deroy Peraza created it for the 2010 World Cup, and it went on to appear in more than a hundred publications and in design exhibitions in France and Spain. Every print shows one year's draw from the round of 16 as rings, each player in the color of their nation, with the champion at the center.
