World number 772 Marcus Willis became the toast of Wimbledon on Monday with his straight-sets victory over the world's 54th-ranked player Ricardas Berankis, booking a second-round meeting with Roger Federer.
Here, Press Association Sport looks back on five other unsung Brits who became heroes for a day at SW19.
1. NICK BROWN BEATS GORAN IVANISEVIC, second round 1991
Wildcard entry and world number 591 Nick Brown stunned 10th seed Goran Ivanisevic in four sets in the second round in 1991.
Brown's victory was at the time dubbed the biggest upset since the inception of computer rankings in 1973.
Brown battled his way to the third round 4-6 6-3 7-6 6-3, catching the previous year's semi-finalist Ivanisevic cold.
Brown had spent the build-up to his big match travelling to and from the All England Club riding pillion on a friend's Harley Davidson, to beat the traffic.
2. BARRY COWAN PUSHES PETE SAMPRAS TO FIVE SETS, second round 2001
Defending champion Pete Sampras blasted through the first two sets 6-3 6-2 to leave world number 248 Cowan staring down a routine defeat.
But then Liverpool fan Cowan, inspired by listening to You'll Never Walk Alone in breaks of play, mounted the most unlikely of comebacks.
Cowan took the third set on tie break before claiming the fourth too, to set up a tense decider amid raucous Centre Court scenes.
Ultimately though the then 13-time major winner Sampras hit back to close out the clash, prevailing 6-3 6-3 6-7 (5/7) 4-6 6-3 to progress to the third round.
3. ANDREW CASTLE GOES THE DISTANCE WITH MATS WILANDER, second round 1986
World number 287 Castle pushed reigning Australian and French Open champion Wilander to the limit on Number One Court.
A fluctuating match saw 22-year-old Castle claim the first and third sets, before Wilander took control.
The world number two flexed all his superiority to dismiss a shattered Castle in the decider however, but not before the British youngster had offered impressive resolve and tenacity.
Wilander prevailed 4-6 7-6 6-7 6-4 6-0, rattling through the final set with Castle spent.
4. CHRIS BAILEY TAKES GORAN IVANISEVIC TO FIVE SETS, second round 1993
Bailey was ranked 263 in the world when he dispatched world number 90 Patrick McEnroe, John's younger brother, in the first round at Wimbledon in 1993.
That impressive victory set up a second round clash with 1992's beaten finalist Ivanisevic, leading to a Centre Court classic.
Bailey stunned Ivanisevic by claiming the opening set, then pushed the tie all the way to the decider.
Bailey actually forced match point in the final set, only for Ivanisevic to recover with a second-serve ace, before claiming victory.
5. JEREMY BATES BATTLES TO FIVE SETS AGAINST GUY FORGET, fourth round 1992
Bates beat Michael Chang in the first round before moving through to take on seventh seed Forget in the fourth round.
Bates saved a match point in the fourth set, to push the match into a decider.
Despite his gritty showing the Frenchman's superior class won out in the end, with Forget prevailing 6-7 6-4 3-6 7-6 6-3.
