Que de beaux souvenirs cette finale entre ces 2 champions

Deux immenses champions au grand fair-play

Roland Garros, juin, période des examens en Belgique... Je les ai regardé le noeud au ventre en me disant que je ferais mieux d'étudier les maths, mais c'était plus fort que tout... Bjorg la machine, Lendl qui verrouillait sa prise comme un étau avec la magnésie sortie des poches... Le temps "perdu" à regarder ces matches c'était génial. J'ai retrouvé ces sensations avec Justine et Kim des années plus tard.

Ivan le terrible!✌💟

How Borg won on clay with most of his groundstrokes landing inside the service line? Different era, different racquets, and his excellent footwork.

So proud of Lendl! He took Borg, the defending champion at Roland Garros and five time champion there, to five sets. He was barely 20 years old.

@@maartijff144 Borg had a lot of success against Lendl and was still dominating him in exhibitions in 1982. Older Lendl definitely became tougher, but still lost crucial matches to Mats Wilander (a poor man's Borg) at the French in 1985 and US Open in 1988. So doubt Borg would be baffled by him.

@@SuperHammarenabsolutely. And Borg didn’t even want to play tennis in 1981. He had to be talked into playing by his coach and girlfriend. So I’d say he was well past his prime here in this match. And still won 😝

Borg avait un enorme avantage sur son revers, les points importants ont ete gagnes sur cette diagonale. Aucun joueur de cette epoque des petits tamis n a eu un tel revers. Egalement le jeu de jambe, dont Mc Enroe a dit qu aucun athlete de ce niveau n a joue au tennis.

Wow, Lendl was sweating bricks while borg still appeared fresh in the 5th set. Unreal

True, but Lendl wasn´t in his prime. I think it would be really exciting to see them play both in their prime. Borg maybe a little faster but Lendl more powerful groundstrokes.... we will never know!

@@maartijff144 Borg was incredibly fast and while Lendls strokes were certainly more powerful/ flat, Borg's serve was just as good, highly underrated. At Ivan's peak it would have been a huge battle but I think Borg would still have the advantage on clay and grass and Ivan on hard courts. Wilander was able to beat Lendl at the French on more than a few occasions after 1981.

@@SuperHammaren I got my years mixed up. '82 was when Wilander beat Vilas. That went way too long. Then '83 was the exciting final when Yannick got over Mats. '83 was exciting for Noah's attacking game. They speeded up the court in 1983, didn't they? Good for the spectacle, I think.

@@alanchong7513 Yep, the 83 final made Wilander realize he had to play a bit more offensive and take initiative. He ttook revenge versus Noah in the following year I think.

Night and day compared to today’s modern racquets can generate in terms of spin and power.

Sur la fin de ce cinquième set, il est clair que Lendl n'a plus aucun déplacement, ni aucune accélération...Il lève mollement la balle. La force de Borg est de ne pas être entré dans son jeu et simplement d'attendre la faute. Borg pensait il que ce serait sa dernière victoire sur un majeur ??

Lendl pour un 5ème set est encore très fringuant à 92 % mais borg lui est à 100% physiquement.

Ah si seulement ce Borg là avait pu disputer Roland Garros 1982

Was it the wooden rackets that made them "balloon" the ball so high over the net? today the speed and aggression and low trajectory is another world.

No..but the raquets had a little sweetspot..so hitting more flat was more standard back then..But balloning on clay was more standard to wear the oponent out and to find an opening. It was more fun to watch back then..but the tempo was way slower:)

If the women played with wooden racquets, ropey strings, small heads, plimsolls, ditch their coaching/diet/physio teams - then a fairly top male club player could beat almost all of them with modern racquet and hitech strings and shoes. But you are clearly not a tennis player of any quality who also played back then - so you're all Dunning Kruger about it.
