The climax of Cash's career came in the summer of 1987 when he defeated Ivan Lendl the World No.1 to win the Wimbledon trophy. He famously ran through the stands to his family in the players box to celebrate with them a tradition that has been copied by many tennis players including Lleyton Hewitt, Maria Sharapova, and Belgian Kim Clijsters.
In 1988 he once again reached the Australian Open final but lost to Mats Wilander in a four and a half hour match.
Pat retied in 1996 due to series of injuries to his Achilles' tendon, knees and back.
He has since taught such players as Greg Rusedski and Mark Philippoussis.
