mcgillianaire8 July 1995. Steffi Graf met Arantxa-Sanchez Vicario in the first of back-to-back finals at Wimbledon. This one will be remembered for the titanic 20-minute 11th game in the third set. It featured 13 deuces and 18 game points, ending with the German eventually breaking the Spaniard, before securing her sixth Wimbledon title on her serve. Graf went on to retain her title in 1996. Sadly, Sanchez-Vicario never played another Wimbledon final, but she will always be remembered for "that game"! I was in Chennai for summer holidays and I certainly remember talking about it at cricket coaching the next day. We knew we'd witnessed something special.
