Champions All...4

* Evert showed her champion's mettle in 1989, her last Wimbledon appearance. Italian Laura Golarsa, attempting to become the first Italian woman to reach the Wimbledon semifinals, led Evert by 5- 2, 40-15, two match points on her service, in the final set. Golarsa served to Evert's forehand and the American smacked the ball for a winner down the line. Evert saved the next point, broke Golarsa's service and then won four games in a row for the match.

* Evert's new husband, Andy Mill, was so moved by his wife's come-from-behind performance that he burst into tears when she won.

* Navratilova and Steffi Graf's dominance of Wimbledon in the last 15 years is evident by the fact that Conchita Martinez's win in 1994 was the first time since Chris Evert's triumph in 1981 that another player had taken the title.
