Wimbledon: 10 greatest matches in history

#6 Goran Ivanisevic returns: Goran Ivanisevic def Patrick Rafter 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 9-7 in 2001 men's final

Goran Ivanisevic provided Wimbledon with one of its most Romantic moments after winning the 2001 crown after coming in as a wildcard

Rank -125th in the world; wild card qualifier for the 2001 Wimbledon and runner-up in 1992, 1994 and 1998, nobody had given Goran Ivanisevic a chance at progressing too far into the 2001 edition, let alone winning Wimbledon.

Recovering from a shoulder injury, Goran, against all odds defeated Australian Pat Rafter in an epic three-hour battle.

Creating an atmosphere resembling a football match rather than a serene Wimbledon final, the crowd was covered with Croatian flags and inflatable Kangaroos. A Topsy-turvy encounter with players trading sets and Goran firing ace after ace came down to the final set.

After heartbreaks in previous finals, Goran was not to be denied his fairytale and won a long fifth set 9-7 to seal an amazing victory. Goran remains the only wildcard entrant to have won a Grand Slam.
