Tilden was the last men's champion at the original Wimbledon location at Worple Road, and was also the last men's champion under the challenge round system. From 1922 onward the reigning champion, like every other player, would have to play from the beginning of the tournament instead of playing a single Challenge Round match against the winner of the all-comers tournament.[1]

gollark: It might be an issue of the broadcast strength thingy.
gollark: They're actually pretty simple conceptually, just somewhat unintuitive.
gollark: Did you try trying again?
gollark: Or your interweb connection is broken.
gollark: It looks like the server it uses no longer works. So you can't use that "app market" thing.
