Henry Searle ended Britain’s 61-year wait for a boys’ singles champion at Wimbledon with a dominant victory over Russian Yaroslav Demin.
The unseeded 17-year-old won 6-4 6-4 in front of a buoyant Court One crowd.
Searle raised his arms towards his box when he sealed the trophy after Demin sent a forehand long.
The last British boys’ champion here was Stanley Matthews – son and namesake of the former Blackpool and England footballer – in 1962.
