Year 2001
Goran Ivansovic was given a wild card entry to play in Wimbledon.
He bit dust all thru the tournament and reached final to face P.Rafter

Spectators (mostly English) were hostile to the Australian Rafter.Above all Gory was not the favorite too.

I watched the match for two days. YES since rain played spoilt sport the match had to continue on Monday too.

What a match that was! so many tie breakers and each time you thought Rafter would win , Goran will fetch a point.

It was one of the THRILLING finals at Wimbledon
IMHO
