During the 1927 Wimbledon semifinal, Henri Cochet of France was on the brink of elimination in his match against American Bill Tilden, the two-time men’s singles Wimbledon champion. Cochet had dropped the first two sets and was down 1–5 in the third set. However, Cochet refused to lose; incredibly, he rallied to a five-set victory and earned a spot in the Wimbledon finals.
