No 1: Wimbledon 2003
Roger Federer wins Wimbledon 2003

bt Mark Philippoussis 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 7-6 (7-3)

Roger Federer began Wimbledon 2003 with a big question mark hanging over him. Would he ever find the consistency to win the Grand Slam title his myriad talents deserved?

The pony-tailed Swiss answered in magnificent fashion, crushing Andy Roddick in the semi-finals before ending the surprise resurgence of Mark Philippoussis in the final. After lifting the trophy, he famously sobbed as he was interviewed on Centre Court by the BBC's Sue Barker.
