  • Andy Roddick was facing Roger Federer in the 2009 Wimbledon final, where the Swiss maestro had a chance to overtake Pete Sampras and win his 15th Grand Slam.

    Both delivered stunning performances.

    Interestingly, Roddick's serve was broken only once and too in 77th game of the final.

    Federer inched past Roddick to grab the title with a 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14 win.

  • These two greats met at three consecutive Wimbledon finals.

    Among the three, the five-setter 1990 final was a classic, with Stefan Edberg edging past the German icon, Boris Becker.

    Becker started the match slow, but soon caught up with his powerful shots coming to the rescue.

    Eventually, Edberg turned out the better of the two, with the score reading 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 3-6, 6-4.

    The 125-ranked Ivanisevic, finally, surpassed his opponent in the fifth set, and clinched the title.

    With this win, he became the only player to win the men's singles title at Wimbledon as a wild card.

    Borg snatched away the glory defeating McEnroe, and by not losing a single point until the 10th game of the 1st set.
