Enough to bring tears to a glass eye this one. A simply memorable piece of theatre that once again reminded us all why we continue to follow children's games with such interest and passion year in, year out.
Big serving (that's an understatement) Croatian Goran Ivanisevic played tennis like a machine at times.
Booming serve after booming serve helped him to the very top of the game in the 1990s.
Goran (I've always been a lazy one and I'm going to write Goran from now on) reached the Wimbledon final in 1992, where he lost to the popular American Andre Agassi in five superb sets.
Two years later he was blown away by Pete Sampras, and the same man ended Goran's dream in another five set final in 1998.
His dream of a Wimbledon title looked to have gone by the time 2001 had rolled around, when he received a wildcard for the tournament.
He and we reckoned once again without one of those extraordinary fairytales that sometimes engulf a sporting event.
Goran ended the hopes of Tim Henman in the semi-finals (Henman's best chance as it turned out) with a rain delay that worked perfectly in the favour of the Croatian.
The match lasted three days, so inclement was the weather and the final against Australian Pat Rafter was pushed over to Monday - this naturally became People's Monday.
The atmosphere was simply superb and the drama unrelenting - I will always remember how spellbound a few of us were in the office that day.
There were plenty of Australians in west London that day but the majority were still plumping for Goran, so popular had the charismatic and unpredictable Croatian become.
Some of Goran's histrionics were as entertaining as the tennis, as at some stages it looked like the the fates were against the big man.
He won the first and third sets, but Rafter won the second and fourth and the stage was set for a memorable decider.
In a fluctuating final set that left the Centre Court crowd and millions watching on television breathless Goran eventually won 9-7 to wrap up a 6-3 3-6 6-3 2-6 9-7 victory - providing Wimbledon and sport with a famous story.
