These players are aptly called wild cards presumably because they’re called in from the wild – otherwise they’d be in the wilderness.
Anyways, in 2001, Wimbledon gave a wild card to Ivanisevic in honor of his previous achievements – he had been a runner-up three times. He was ranked 125 in the world, which was not good enough for eligibility. The upshot is, Ivanisevic took the invitation and took this opportunity well.
And how well he took this opportunity – he won seven games in a row to win the tournament, becoming the only player in history to do so.
Thus and therefore, Ivanisevic is best remembered as the wild card winner at Wimbledon.
Very wild indeed.
