Fred Perry is revered in the town where he was born, Stockport, England. One of the municipal buildings is named Fred Perry House and there is a walking route through the town and suburbs, named Fred Perry Way. He is also the last Englishman to have won the Wimbledon Men's Singles title. Before pursuing a career in tennis, he also became World Table Tennis champion, which was the last competitive table-tennis game he played as he wanted to focus his career on tennis.
