Marcus Willis became one of tennis’ most recognizable underdog stories during Wimbledon 2016. Beginning in pre-qualifying, the British player won six consecutive matches to reach the main draw, earning a Centre Court matchup against Roger Federer that captured the attention of tennis fans around the world.
At the time, Willis was balancing his professional tennis ambitions with coaching and teaching lessons in the United Kingdom. His run to the Wimbledon main draw brought international attention to his story and remains one of the tournament’s most memorable modern Cinderella runs.
Since then, Willis has continued to compete professionally, particularly in doubles, where he has reached a career-high ATP doubles ranking inside the Top 100. A fan favorite for his personality and unconventional path through the sport, he remains active on the professional tour and continues to compete at events around the world.
