My Guess:
Answers:1. Serbia 2. Spain 3. Austria 4. Daniil MedvedevWimbledon Moments The Borg-McEnroe Tiebreaker, 1980 The 18-16, fourth-set tiebreaker in the 1981 Wimbledon final may have been the most riveting 22 minutes in tennis history. The contrasting styles and personalities of the participants made it an enthralling matchup from the start: No. 1-ranked Bjorn Borg - the cool, stoic Swede with the breath- taking groundstrokes -was up against No. 2-ranked John McEnroe - the loud, combative American with the masterful serve-and-volley game. The appeal of the Borg-McEnroe matchup went far beyond the confines of the tennis world. Whether the 1980 final was the greatest Wimbledon match in history is open for debate, but the legend of that 22-minute tiebreaker stands alone.
Wimbledon Moments The Nadal-Federer Classic 2008 Often called the greatest tennis match in history, Rafael Nadal's 6- 4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7 victory over Roger Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon final featured the added dramatic elements of two rain delays and a finish that was shrouded in darkness. The drama for the 2008 match had been building for two years. Federer beat Nadal in four sets in the 2006 Wimbledon final and outlasted him again in five riveting sets at the All England Club climax in 2007. The match lasted four hours and 48 minutes, the longest singles final in Wimbledon history, and ended at 9:16 p.m. local time.
Wimbledon Moments Ashe's Upset, 1975 Jimmy Connors was considered almost unbeatable in 1975, especially on grass. Although he had lost in the final of the 1975 Australian Open to John Newcombe. Meanwhile, the 31-year-old Arthur Ashe seemed to be past his prime. He had won the 1968 U.S. Open and the 1970 Australian Open but had not gone past the quarterfinals of a major since reaching the final of the 1972 U.S. Open. During this match, Ashe had a strategy that minimized Connors' effectiveness. Ashe used dinks, chips, lobs and short angles to blunt Connors' powerful groundstrokes. Ashe not only won, but he won decisively, 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4, for one of the most shocking upsets in a Wimbledon final. The match was also historically significant, as Ashe became the first (and still the only) African American male to win Wimbledon.
