Wimbledon is considered the holy grail of tennis and as today's final plays out, let's dive into the annals of history to revisit some of the greatest men's Wimbledon finals of all time.

One cannot start this journey without mentioning the prodigious 2008 final between the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal, and the Swiss Maestro, Roger Federer. The match is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis matches of all time. It was an epic clash lasting 4 hours and 48 minutes, pushing the boundaries of endurance and mental toughness. Nadal finally prevailed, marking his first Wimbledon title, and ending Federer's five-year reign as Wimbledon champion.

Then, who can forget the battle royale between Björn Borg and John McEnroe in 1980. The finer points of this hard-fought match were immortalized in the iconic film, "Borg vs. McEnroe". Borg clinched his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title after an intense five-set match, which included a 20-minute 18-16 tie-break in the fourth set that is etched into the annals of tennis folklore.

The 2019 final still looms large in our memories. It was yet another monumental duel between Federer and Novak Djokovic, accentuating why Wimbledon finals are an incredible spectacle of drama and ability. After a gruelling battle of nerves and endurance over four hours and 57 minutes, Djokovic emerged victorious, thus underlining his dominance in the world of tennis.

In 1987, there was Pat Cash's remarkable victory over Ivan Lendl that deserves a special mention. The Australian dashed into the stands to celebrate his memorable win with his coach, family, and girlfriend, thus setting the precedent for what has now become a norm in celebratory antics.
