Wimbledon chief apologises as winner is forced to hand back iconic trophy

The chief of Wimbledon has issued an apology after last year's men's singles champion was required to return the iconic trophy. It is standard practice at Wimbledon for champions to hand back the original trophy ahead of the new tournament, as they only hold it for the duration of their title reign. With Wimbledon approaching, the defending champion has complied with the tradition and returned the trophy.
