"You cannot be serious!" Yes, the honour goes to John McEnroe.
In 1984, John McEnroe was the last player to win the men's singles at Wimbledon using a wooden racquet, and they had disappeared from the game completely by 1987.

John McEnroe used a Dunlop Maxply against Jimmy Connors and his T2000 metal trampoline.
