Pat Rafter vs. Goran Ivanisevic
Mon 9th July 2001
Johnno & Mike camped outside
Wimbledon for a night in 1,264th position in line, in order to secure their
tickets to witness what has been described as the greatest ever Wimbledon Final.
Johnno & Mike as the queue begins to move at
7am.....
Jack Nicholson appears in the Royal Box to the delight of the crowd
The calm before the storm!
The officials take to the court
Goran & Pat after the toss of the coin
The Finalists!
Rafter during the warm-up as the crowd sang Waltzing
Matilda
Pat surrounded by Aussie Supports!
Rafter was now receiving for the match...whilst the
Australian XI cricketers look on...
Pat takes a moment as he has just lost his serve in
the final set
and now Goran is serving for the Championship....
The man... the legend .... and the greatest ambassador
for Australian sport!
Pat tries to return a Goran 128 kph serve
Goran has done it....
The Croatian cannot believe it... neither can the
Aussies!
Both players thank the umpire
Goran's dream is achieved
The legend he is Rafter can still smile during the
presentation
The boys court side
What a day!
Great Aussie support!
