Wimbledon: 10 greatest matches in history

#5 Connors' experience overcomes Pernfors' youth: Jimmy Connors def Mikael Pernfors 1-6, 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-2, 1987, men's fourth round

Jimmy Connors pulled off a blinder of a win at the age of 35

Once again, a fourth round match offering an absolute epic. At all of 35 years old, Jimmy Connors was 10 years older than his opponent Mikael Pernfors.

With his powers on the wane and a fitter, younger opponent against him, Connors was found out. The first two sets went in favor of Pernfors 6-1, 6-1. Connors fought back, however, and won the third set 7-5 after trailing 1-4, only to trail 0-3 in the fourth.

The experience of Connors though held fort against the exuberance of Perfnors' youth. In a scintillating display of tennis and mental strength, Connors rallied to win the fourth set 6-4 and cruised through the decided 6-2.

Pretty decent for an "old fellow".
