Editorial Reviews

Product Description

As The Wimbledon Championships moved into the eighties, they were greeted by one of the most memorable Gentlemen's Singles Finals ever. 1980 saw Sweden's Bjorn Borg face the promising 21-year-old American, John McEnroe. Borg had four Wimbledon titles under his belt and was the firm favorite. McEnroe however had shown his potential two years earlier, reaching the semi-final from the qualifying stages. Vastly contrasting his character, Borg remained calm and composed, while McEnroe was openly emotional and determined. 240 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars One for the Ages, August 1, 2005
By JMadbat (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
I've been watching and playing tennis for parts of five decades, still active in the 55 and Over USTA tournaments. However, I have found that most of my tennis friends don't have the interest to watch a 5-set men's match, especially given the way the men play the game today.

This match, a classic by any standard, will probably hold the interest of most tennis fans. While tennis in 1980 was played at a slower, less powerful pace due to the use of wood racquets, the shot making was nearly flawless, especially during the epic 34 point tie-breaker at the end of the fourth set. It is tennis the way most of us hackers who grew up watching Laver, Rosewall, Ashe, Borg and McEnroe, remember it. This match highlights the touch and finesse both men owned, as well as allowing the viewer to see points crafted like a chess master might craft a winning attack.

The BBC announcers are always understated, letting the play take center stage. I personally enjoy seeing the mastery of the young McEnroe at the net and the unflappable Borg, looking the same whether he was losing the first set 6-1 or getting ready to win the match at the end of the fifth set.

Re-reading this review, I realize that I'm probably in need of a Tennis Exorcist. Which doesn't diminish the fact that it was a great match.

5.0 out of 5 stars FIRE MEETS ICE, January 23, 2005
By D. Makarchuk (Vancouver, British Columbia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rarely does a tennis match captivate it's audience like this one does. Two of the biggest personalities the game has ever seen battling over the most coveted prize in tennis. So pour yourself a dish of strawberries and cream, sit back and relax, and enjoy what is arguably the best Wimbledon final ever played!

5.0 out of 5 stars It is Star Wars in its own genre., June 14, 2005
It is one of the rarest of a match play of all time in tennis history. Words can neither describe the match nor can some critiques downplay it. So, just watch it and enjoy a rare execution of one of the highest quality of tennis.
