A player collapsing in tears after championship point at Wimbledon is one of the most lasting images in all of sports. Maybe it’s all those years of  Rolex ads.

As this year marks the 50th anniversary of the start of the Open era, the Wimbledon digital team has gotten creative and complied every championship point played on the hallowed lawns since 1968. That’s 100 championship points, each one special in its own right.

A few things stand out. For one, seeing the immutability of the white outfits throughout the years, no matter who is playing or when, is powerful. It does well to justify the Slam's stubborn insistence that the players continue to adhere strictly to a dress code when no other tournament does.

It’s also staggering to see just how many times players like Steffi Graf, Bjorn Borg, Martina Navratilova, Pete Sampras, Serena and Venus Williams, and Roger Federer appear. There are almost 50 Wimbledon titles between them alone.

Wimbledon begins on July 2.
