Max Purcell

Australians Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell beat reigning champions Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic in a five-set thriller to win their first Wimbledon Grand Slam on July 9. The Australians, who saved eight match points in two rounds to reach the finals, won the fifth set after recovering an early break. Ebden said, "We're sitting here [having] won the title, but first-round we could have been out with one point."
