Fred Perry was a fantastic British sportsman, best known for his lawn tennis performances. It is doubtful that many people are aware that he also represented England in table tennis. He won the World Table Tennis Championship at Budapest in 1929, in the individual category, and helped his team win a bronze medal in the team event. But his feats in lawn tennis were far greater. Perry won 8 grand slams, including 3 consecutive Wimbledon championships from 1934 to 1936 and he held the position of world’s no. 1 player for four years.
