Wilander won his fourth Grand Slam Singles title at the age of 20, the youngest man in history to have achieved that feat. He is the recipient of 7 Grand Slam Championships (8 with his Doubles win) and a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

ABOUT THE MW FOUNDATION  SAVE IT. SEND IT. SHARE IT.  are the ideals that the MW Foundation stands for, not only while on a tennis court but for everyday life.
