   The greatest Open era players to win Davis Cup clinchers:
   1975 – Bjorn Borg (the same scoreline like in Federer’s clincher)
   1978 – John McEnroe
   1985 – Stefan Edberg
   1989 – Boris Becker
   1995 – Pete Sampras
   2011 – Rafael Nadal
   2014 – Roger Federer

   Ivan Lendl (1980) & Mats Wilander (1987) did it in doubles, Andre Agassi (1992) & Novak Djokovic (2010) contributed in the finals. Jimmy Connors is the only typical OE player belonging to this elite, who didn’t win the Davis Cup (participated in the 1984 final).
