Goran Ivani evi defeated Patrick Rafter, 6 3, 3 6, 6 3, 2 6, 9 7, in the final to win the Gentlemen's Singles title at the 2001 Wimbledon Championships. In doing so, he became the first wild card to win a major. The win was especially satisfying for Ivani evi , as he had made the finals three times before (in 1992, 1994 and 1998) but lost each (to Agassi, and Sampras twice, respectively). The win was made all the more notable since Ivani evi was two points from losing in the semi-final to Tim Henman.
