Wimbledon 2006
Veteran Jonas Bjorkman outlasted Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 7-6, 4-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 at Wimbledon to set up a semi-final against top seed Roger Federer.
Sweden's Bjorkman, three times a doubles champion here and at 34 the oldest competitor in the singles after Andre Agassi, used all his guile, patience and experience to overcome the 14th seed in a war of attrition lasting four hours three minutes.
"It's a dream come true," said a visibly emotional Bjorkman, who saved a match point in the fourth set tiebreak.
