"Sport is all about winning, the losers are rarely remembered." This quote would sum up my article, yet in the end, the losers ended up as winners finally to complete a fairy-tale ending. Two of the most memorable incidents in Sport finds a mention in this article. To be honest, I never expected it to happen as long as I was alive, for I often wondered and believed that there was a jinx that was preventing it from happening. But to see it happen right in front of my disbelieving eyes was something else. Coming back to the two incidents, the first one relates to Goran Ivanisevic winning the Wimbledon in 2001 as a wild-card after three heart-breaking losses previously in finals. Wimbledon is considered to be the tournament that a tennis player dreams and cherishes of winning at least once in his career. A career without winning Wimbledon would be incomplete and leave many a great player not feeling great about himself. Eg - Ivan Lendl the big Czechoslovakian who never won the grandest title, despite achieving many honors.Goran - the genial giant from Croatia does it for the 4th time.Goran Ivanisevic, had been to three Wimbledon finals - in 1992 he had lost to Andre Agassi in 5 sets, in 1993, he had lost to Pete Sampras in three and most heart-breakingly in five sets to Pete Sampras in 1998. The last of the 3 finals severely dented his confidence and he was inconsolable in the dressing room after the loss. Pat Cash - the former champ in 1987, tried consoling him, saying 'next time, next time', but Goran wouldn't budge, replying - 'how many next times? It's gone.'Rewind the clock back to 2001 - Goran Ivanisevic's ranking had plummeted and only the kind-hearted, The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club - the hosts of Wimbledon - could give him a wild-card entry. As Goran would go on to say later, it was a glorious 15 days, the best of his life. From the moment they opened the gates on Monday - the opening day - to the time, Goran lifted the cup, luck played a huge role in his success. Pete Sampras, the reigning king at Wimbledon had been knocked out in the 4th round by Roger Federer and that opened up the draw. Roger Federer lost to Tim Henman in the quarter-final and Goran beat Tim Henman in the semi-final to progress to his 4th final. He needed a fair amount of luck in the semi-final when he was down and desperately needed a break. The heavens opened and the rain-break disrupted Henman's concentration who went on to lose, despite the crowd raucously egging him on. Coming into the final against Pat Rafter - another gifted serve and volley player and who has the unfortunate distinction of not having won at Wimbledon despite possessing the game to do so. Goran knew that it was going to be an epic final and the continuous rain only made things worse. It postponed the Gentlemen's Singles final to Monday - called the peoples Monday. It was only the 2nd or 3rd time that this had happened in over 125 years of the Championships. All the nervous energy was let loose on Monday and after a marathon five setter, Goran finally realised his dream - of winning a Wimbledon. The crowd's support was for him as he used it to his full advantage. When he fell down and closed his eyes with his hands unable to believe what he had achieved, it brought tears to many an eye, not least to me. His post-match victory speech was one of the best of all time, mixing sharp wit with some incredibly honest answers. Watch out for his victory dedication at the end.
