Goran IvanisevicStanding six feet four inches, Goran Ivanisevic endeared himself to the Centre Court crowds with his missile-like serve, his untranslatable Croatian curses and his fondness for taking his top off. Who can forget his epic win over Pat Rafter in the 2001 Wimbledon final? It was a victory that admittedly got in the way of Tim Henman's best shot at the trophy (Henman lost to Ivanisevic in an agonising rain-delayed semi), but it was still a glorious moment for underdogs – Ivanisevic had entered the tournament that year on a wild card, the first player to do so and go on to lift the trophy.
