I wished McEnroe's temper was so bad because there is a big contrast with the other side. He mellowed as he ages and is a lot more respectable. My friend have been to Australian Open and in the hotel lobby he saw many past champions hanging around and he had photos with them, who were our childhood heros.

A beautiful badminton match

Obviously so many comments regarding how boring this is compared to modern tennis are all from mostly younger people brought up on said modern age. In this era, it was almost a completely different sport, and it is quite radical to see how much it has changed, I think for better and also for worse. Of course the glaring difference is the racquet technology; these guys had to adapt to the smaller heavier racquets, they were not playing with modern technology so the ball is not going to react the same way at all. Adaptation. These guys were still very gifted athletes and to call them slow or boring just because they weren’t slugging it out from the baseline for 20 shot rallies every point is, well, missing the “point”. Tennis is finesse, a masterful knowledge of physics, pace, timing , strategy, fitness and mental agility. Brute strength notwithstanding, these two guys and many others from that era were certainly brilliant athletes who ushered in the modern age of tennis.

Omg... I used to get scared of Bjorn and prayed for McEnroe 😅😅😅😅😅. They were phenomenal ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Borg had the most unique and beautiful backhand style of all time (Connors comes 2nd)... No one has ever duplicated that style, or stroke...

Unreal !!!!! Why am i seeing this now and now 10 yrs ago??

What mental toughness to lose that tie break and not lose your composure from Borg. Possibly the toughest mentally of any player in the history of tennis. He won a lot of matches with his mind as much as his skill.

Some people have a 10 minute sense of tennis history. Those players were masters with the racquet, wooden racquets, which required a lot of effort and out of the ordinary skill to play the shots they did. To people who understood the game, it was very tense and exciting. They WERE athletes, but they were not baseball players, unlike some today. It would help to read up, research the game of tennis, rather than make uninformed comparisons. Today, some players show that they will become something akin to cage fighters, which is not to be desired. Tennis about managing the ball, the geometry of the court, and racquet skill and timing. For ironmen, strongmen, people can go to the circus, etc. Technology made the racquets more powerful, so the players can play differently, but it also takes a big toll on the body and only the very great players can have a career without a lot of injuries. Look at many of the young, athletic players, and how many are injured frequently. That's the difference. Technology improved, and with it the game. But don't dismiss, just because it's not apparent to eyes used only to today's tennis, and skills required by those wielding the heavy wooden racquets,

the court is in so much better condition in the final than it is these days

Still remember as today in front of black&white TV....legends

When Borg retired in '82 it looked like he just couldn't stand the thought of losing to McEnroe again. Could have been he was burned out or McEnroe figured him out and that disheartened him. Who knows.......but retiring at 25 is unheard of by today's stars.

I remember the tension in our lounge room watching this epic final.
