In the 1952 Wimbledon Championships – Gentlemen's Singles tennis competition, number one seed Frank Sedgman defeated number two seed Jaroslav Drobný in the final, 4–6, 6–2, 6–3, 6–2 to win the title.[1] Dick Savitt was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Mervyn Rose.
Progress of the tournament
[edit ]Drobný was representing Egypt, having defected from Czechoslovakia in 1949 and been offered Egyptian citizenship in 1950. It was his second Wimbledon men's singles final, and he defeated the number 5 and 6 seeds (Australia's Ken McGregor and the US's Herbie Flam) to get there.[2] Another Australian, number 8 seed Mervyn Rose, having defeated Savitt, was beaten by the eventual champion, Sedgman, in the semifinals.
