Ivanisevic Re-lives 'Greatest Moment'
Goran Ivanisevic admits that he is still frightened that he will wake up one day and discover that he didn’t beat Pat Rafter in their 2001 Wimbledon final.
Ivanisevic will come face-to-face with the Australian for the first time on a tennis court since that famous Monday final eight years ago when they meet at the AEGON Masters Tennis (1-6 December) at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The Croatian is hoping that it might finally sink in when he sees Rafter in London again. “I still don’t know how I won, I still don’t know why I won,” said Ivanisevic, of his Wimbledon triumph.
“That day was so strange - Monday, 12 o’clock final. I was so happy that it was all going to be over, and after that last point, when I held the trophy, when I came back home, it was all like a dream. Even now, when I look back at the tape, I still think I am going to lose! But when I look back, it’s the greatest sporting moment in my life."
While he hopes to beat Rafter at the Royal Albert Hall, he promises that they will be all smiles off the court. “Pat is a great guy, a good friend, and we had an unbelievable final on that Monday at Wimbledon,” said Ivanisevic. more
