Women's Tennis: 5 Greatest Wimbledon Finals of all-time

#4 Steffi Graf vs Arantxa Sanchez Vicario (1995)

Steffi Graf at the 1995 Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship

Although the rivalry between Steffi Graf and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario never quite reached the heights of the Evert-Navratilova rivalry, Graf and Vicario were the preeminent players in 1995. They had already traded the world #1 ranking six times that year before meeting in their classic Wimbledon final encounter.

The match was pretty much routine stuff until the third set. At 5-5, Vicario was serving to take a 6-5 lead. The 11th game lasted 20 minutes and included 13 deuces. Vicario had eight game points and Graf six. Graf eventually broke serve on the 32nd point of the game, then held serve to complete a 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 victory. It was her 6th Wimbledon title and 19th Grand Slam title overall.

1996 final was a repeat of 1995 final but in 1996, Graf secured a comfortable win against Vicario to take home her 7th Wimbledon title.
