See how you go with this one ...

I won numerous Wimbledon titles, including three singles titles, and am a legend of the game of tennis. Who am I and what is my affiliation with the game of cricket ?

Newk is related to Warren Bardsley, but I don't think he won 3 singles titles?

Is it Norman Brookes?

No, it's John Newcombe. He won singles titles in 1967, 1970, and 1971.

Well there you go! Always good to learn new things :)

Who am I?

I was a Test umpire, and still hold an Australian Test record, (batting) which looks safe for a while yet?
