The final game of the 2013 Wimbledon is considered one of the most dramatic games in tennis history.

Andy Murray took the first the two sets 6-4, 7-5 against Novak Djokovic and looked on course to end Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s singles champion.

After three nearly hours, the Scot had three championship points as the crowd eagerly anticipated Murray’s moment of victory. The former world number one, however, failed to take any of them as Djokovic continued to fight valiantly.

This game had everything imaginable as Djokovic saved championship points through a combination of skill and luck.

The Serb saved the second championship point in dramatic fashion, as he struck a winning return of a slow second serve. Djokovic then fended off two more match points, which left Murray two points away from the title, with the home crowd left speechless.

Djokovic’s spirit and determination earnt him break points, but the Scotsman too showed determination, as he fought off all the breakpoints.

Eventually, after fourteen minutes of quite unbelievable drama, Djokovic gave in and hit a backhand into the net to give Murray his first Wimbledon title.

In his post-match interview, the Scot talked about how he did not even remember the last game and according to Tim Henman, “Andy was basically in a state of shock”, which is a testament to the resolve and perseverance shown by Murray.
