The first unseeded player to win the men's singles Wimbledon Championship was Boris Becker. In 1985, at the age of 17, the German tennis prodigy made history by becoming the youngest Wimbledon champion and the first unseeded player to achieve the feat. Becker's powerful serve and aggressive playing style helped him defeat several established and higher-ranked opponents, including Kevin Curren in the final. His unexpected triumph at Wimbledon catapulted him into stardom and marked the beginning of a successful career that saw him win a total of six Grand Slam singles titles.
