Dubbed as the championship match between the world’s best server and the world’s best returner, the 1992 Wimbledon final proved to be more than an action packed drama. Fresh from the victories he had against the former three times Wimbledon champions – Boris Becker and John McEnroe in the quarter final and the semi final respectively, the 22-year old Andre Agassi looked to be a man with the mission as he made his fourth Grand Slam final appearance. Having failed to latch on to a Grand Slam title despite reaching the finals of majors on previous three occasions, the odds were certainly not in favour of the American, who was up against a man who served as many as 36 aces in his triumph against Pete Sampras during his semi-final outing.

It was an unbelievable Wimbledon for the 20-year old Goran Ivanisevic. His serves looked unreadable for his opponents. Add to that, his aces count of the tournament read 169 at the end of his four-setter semi-final. The 12th seed Agassi, having lost all his previous encounters against the Croat, was definitely not regarded as the favourite to win the final. As a matter of fact, neither player was holding a clear edge over the other since it was their first appearance in the final of the All England Lawn Tennis Championships. But given the types of serve in his arsenal, the Croat was believed to have a very thin advantage over his American opponent, going into Sunday’s final. Interestingly, it was also a final involving two double-handed backhanders, which was an unusual sight back then in Grand Slams.

Set scores are 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4.
