RENSHAW TWINS. The Renshaw fifa 15 Coins sale twins, William “Willie” Charles and James Ernest, were born 3 January 1861, in Leamington Spa, England. Wil- lie Renshaw was the greatest tennis player of his time, and his twin brother, Ernest, was a close second. Willie won the Wimbledon singles champion- ship seven times—six consecutive years from 1881 to 1886 and again in 1889. He did not defend his title in 1887 due to an elbow injury. He was also runner-up in 1890. His brother, Ernest, won Wimbledon in 1888 and was runner-up to his brother in 1882, 1883, and 1889. The brothers won the Wimbledon doubles championship in 1884, 1885, 1886, 1888, and 1889. Their feat was made easier since, in that era, the defending champion did not play in the all-comers (preliminary) rounds but only faced the all-comers winner in a challenge round. Ernest died 2 September 1899 in Waltham St. Lawrence, England, and William died 12 August 1904 in Swanage, England. Their tennis careers were ended before the Davis Cup competition began in 1900. They were both inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1983.
