People's Monday: Rafter vs Ivanisevic - Wimbledon 2001 - Iconic Moment • The wild atmosphere for the 2001 final was as significant as the riveting five-set match. • Unseeded Goran Ivanisevic, who that year would become the first wild-card entry to win Wimbledon, had been the crowd favourite all week. But a large contingent of Aussie fans was on hand to support Patrick Rafter. And they were loud. • The BBC called it the most raucous crowd a Wimbledon final has ever seen, and a Sports Illustrated article described the scene as follows: • Centre Court had never seen anything like it at a final. Instead of rows of middle-aged men and women politely clapping, there was a sea of silly hats, inflatable kangaroos and young people out to enjoy themselves. Chanting started well before the match, setting the tone for an occasion that was more Wembley than Wimbledon. • Because rain had delayed the finals until Monday,10,000 tickets were handed out on a first-come, first-served basis. A line of sleeping bags three miles long waited Monday morning to get a seat. It led to a different kind of Wimbledon crowd. • The match see-sawed one way, then the other, as the two serve-and-volley players traded winners and streaks. • Rafter saved three match points in the 16th game of the final set before Ivanisevic capitalized on the fourth, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 9-7. • So many Australian fans, Croatians. I mean, it was like a football match, Ivanisevic said after the match, according to the Sports Illustrated article. • Atmosphere plays an important role in making a sporting event great, and the atmosphere for the 2001 finals was unmatched. • People's Monday: Rafter vs Ivanisevic - Wimbledon 2001 - Iconic Moment • This video utilizes SwingVision.
