Graf vs Novotna, Ashe vs Connors
A chance to relive a couple of great Wimbledon finals – the 1993 rollercoaster involving Steffi Graf and Jana Novotna and the 1975 classic between Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe.
A chance to relive a couple of great Wimbledon finals – the 1993 rollercoaster involving Steffi Graf and Jana Novotna and the 1975 classic between Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe.
Graf goes into the final as the favourite, having won the title in four of the past five years, but Novotna’s elegant serve-and-volley game is always a threat on grass. Can she dethrone the German and land a first Wimbledon singles title?
In 1975, Connors is also expected to win, with the 22-year-old world number one having been in dominant form since winning the title 12 months previously. Up against him is Arthur Ashe, who has reached his first Wimbledon final at almost 32 years of age. With Connors having not dropped a set in blasting his way to the final, Ashe knows he will need to get his tactics spot on if he is to upset his fellow American.
