‘Wonder kid' Searle leads tomorrow’s Wimbledon headline winner to SW19 glory today
Henry Searle is lauding it after becoming the first British boys' singles champion at Wimbledon since 1962 after beating Yaroslav Demin at the tournament in SW19.
The Wolverhampton-born 'wonder kid' won the Junior title after a straight 6-4, 6-4 win on Court One, making him the country's first junior champion since Laura Robson won the girls' event in 2008. His win equals that of Stanley Matthews, the son of the famous legendary footballer of the same name, who became a junior champion 61 years ago.
