Germany’s Michael Stich is best remembered for winning Wimbledon in 1991. It was an especially impressive feat since he had to beat then World #1 Stefan Edberg in the semifinals and three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker in the the final en route to the title.

Stich also won other noteworthy titles, including the Men’s Doubles Wimbledon Championship (1992 with John McEnroe), and the Olympic Men’s Doubles gold medal (1992 with Boris Becker). Michael also won the 1993 year-end ATP World Tour Championship. In fact, in the 90s, Stich was the only player to claim the title while remaining undefeated throughout the tournament.
