British fans full of cheer as new generation emerges

LONDON — In the wake of two-time champion Andy Murray's retirement last year, host nation Britain is hungry for its next big tennis star to emerge at Wimbledon, with Jack Draper leading a new generation of homegrown men's players.

After Fred Perry's third win in 1936, British fans endured a 77-year men's singles title drought at the All England Club.

First came "Henmania", then "Murray Madness", before the Scot ended the wait with the first of his two Wimbledon triumphs in 2013.
