Ten memorable moments on Wimbledon Centre Court

Wimbledon marks the 100th anniversary of its famed Centre Court at this year's tournament which gets underway at the All England Club on Monday.

Australia's Gerald Patterson and France's Suzanne Lenglen were the first champions to lift the trophies on the world's most famous lawn in 1922.

-- After four hours and 55 minutes, Novak Djokovic captured his fifth Wimbledon title with a 7-6 (7/5), 1-6, 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 13-12 (7/3) victory over eight-time champion Roger Federer. The great Swiss had two championship points at 8-7 in the fifth set that lasted two hours and two minutes.

"It's quite unreal," said Djokovic while Federer admitted: "Man, that was crazy."

-- Andy Murray became Britain's first Wimbledon men's champion since Fred Perry in 1936 with a 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 win over Novak Djokovic in the final.

Murray won on a fourth match point, sinking to his knees in triumph with victory coming one year after a tearful loss to Roger Federer.

-- Centre Court showed off its new £80 million retractable roof in 2009 with Dinara Safina and Amelie Mauresmo having the honour of being the first competitors to experience playing under it as the rain fell outside. Court One also boasted a roof by 2019.

-- In the last year before the roof was installed, Centre Court witnessed what many have described as its greatest ever final.

Rafael Nadal downed Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-7 (8/10), 9-7 in a match which stretched over almost seven hours due to rain delays and ended in near darkness.

"To me, it was the greatest match I'd ever watched, the greatest match ever played anywhere," said US legend John McEnroe.

-- Melissa Johnson never won Wimbledon but she hogged the headlines at the start of the men's final between Richard Krajicek and Malivai
