    Epic. The sound of wooden racket to ball to grass, cooing Wimbledon pigeons, Dan Maskell’s silky voice, a mesmerised, complimentary crowd who knew they were witnessing a match for history, and not least two tennis titans battling it out in an age where finesse, magic, net playing and nimble talent were king. Just the best 👌🏻

    This was a unique, incredible, legendary and unrepeatable page of this sport. I was lucky enough to have experienced it live: a fascinating show, full of emotions and simply unparalleled. Over the years there have been several champions, perhaps even stronger than these two myths, but no one has ever managed to produce the same emotions, the same incomparable atmosphere that Borg, the Swedish bear, and Mc Enroe, the Super Brat, managed to produce with this match. I was lucky, because I can say that on that distant 5th July 1980: "I was there!"

    This is why Borg won Five consecutive Wimbledons. He made it his business to find what it takes to win on grass. You will never again see a clay court specialist that is this keen to come to the net as Borg. Couple that with his lightening reflexes that at times saw him hitting winners from net cords while standing right up at the net, and you have a player that will be very difficult to remove from the top ten list of all time greats.

    To see how polite of a person Bjorg was just look at 7.43 or somewhere close to there where the two are up at the net and instead of smashing the ball hard against Mac or hitting a really hard volley cross court he took a cheaky lob overhead to toy with him. That to me shows that Bjorg was a nice guy and sportsman. If two players hate each other they might try to hit each other in that close at the net.

    The incredible thing about this entire match is despite the hype, the importance of the match and the tension, both players play to the absolute outer realms of their talents. Many finals can be disappointing but these two just could not and would not give up. How Borg got over losing 7 match points and being 0-30 down on his serve in game 1 of the 5th, then not to lose a point on his serve, is still beyond me.

    Borg could’ve been a top 5 player up to 1984 if he hadn’t returned. Vilas was world number 4 in 1982. Vilas only beat Borg once in 15 matches. I think McEnroe had his number but Borg could still beat Connors and Lendl. I honestly think he could’ve won a few more slams. I was a big fan and of Borg millions like me were devastated when he quit at 25.

He knew that Borg had been brought up playing on the fast Swedish indoor courts and had learned the proper footwork to anticipate and move properly around a court, so that combined with his natural speed he would be able to get away with not serving and volleying much. A very shrewd judge and prediction.

    Borg is interesting as he is not a natural volleyer but is prepared to serve and volley. Mcenroe is so gifted at the net but not as good at baseline. It's a pity more don't play like that now to.make it more interesting. I only watch vintage tennis now.

    Yeah Borg was so talented that could play effectively both from the baseline and at the net. Also, in this match I noticed that Borg's backhand was far more solid than McEnroe's one. McEnroe's backhand was relatively weak in this match, he didn't impress too much srength and accuracy to his backhand shots.

    ive never been impressed with mcenroe's apparent 'genius' at the net. ive seen pretty mediocre netplay from him only. it seems some rosy tinted nostalgia blinded lenses that are being pointed at mcenroe. sampras was the superior volleyer, in fact far better than federer is.sampras' volleys and approach shots were just more aggressive than federer's. the way he got the ball to spin so viciously and get so low with his approach shot to the net, and then the volleys were also so viciously executed. although there was alot of naivety in the netrush era. way more than half of approaches to the net went the way of the opponent hitting a successful passing shot instead. and the netrusher relied on merely probability to win a match-that is the probability of winning enough percentage of the net approaches. this percentage play meant matches were much tighter, barely any breaks in serve. alot of tiebreaks, lots of 7-6, 7-6 scorelines. it was the tennis equivalent of general haig's WWI going over the top tactics.

    @@shaunhumphreys6714 - Very interesting comment, thanks! I agree with most of what you are saying. For me, it was McEnroe's passion that I liked most of all. As a child, I still rooted for Borg though, back in the days, but I really enjoyed the emotional approach of the game by McEnroe. I also liked his characteristic serve, and his rants were of course fascinating to watch. I can't remember watching a single boring match with McEnroe.

    As riveting as I found this match and the other great professional tennis matches of the ‘80s at the time, they seem almost quaint in comparison to the most recent generation of great tennis rivalries. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Alcaraz and the others strike me as having upped the quality and tempo of the game by several notches. I truly wonder whether a Borg or a McEnroe would have reached the same heights in today’s tennis world. I’m sure many will disagree, but it’s just how it seems to me after having followed the evolution of professional tennis for more than 50 years.

    Great clips. Most others mostly show McEnroe going on the offensive, winning the tiebreak, then kind of out of nothing loses the 5th... Borg was way more versatile than that. Winning Paris on clay 6 times and Wimbledon on grass 5, back to back. Come on! He must have had some skills... Thinking of Nadal maybe at his peak but both Federer and Djokovic struggled at this.

    When on grass I had to play differently. Later, with the advent of the modern game made exclusively of baseline missiles, they had to change the type of grass to allow even players who didn't know what a volley was to win. If Wimbledon had remained the same as it once was, people like Federer would have won more Wimbledons than Nadal at Roland Garros.

    I think the only way for Borg to have moved forward in tennis instead of quit was to complete the transition to a one-handed backhand, instead of continue with that monstrosity of a backhand he had. It was probably good enough in the era of wood rackets, but when graphite came into the picture, even McEnroe had to transition to graphite. I look at Borg's backhand now, and he won DESPITE it, not because of it.

    Totalmente de acuerdo, Pepe. Estos dos jugadores en la actualidad serían dos desconocidos. Sucede con el tenis, con el pádel y con muchos otros deportes, que se mitifica el deporte en blanco y negro como si fuese lo mejor visto nunca y algo que es irrepetible. En el fútbol, el Madrid de Di Stéfano estaría en 2ª división, el Madrid de la Quinta del buitre pelearía por el descenso. Hace poco vi un partido de los años 80 entre el Madrid y el Sporting y daba pena verlos: sin intensidad, sin táctica, sin velocidad, sin presión, ni en 2ª tendrían opciones. Pero hay mucha gente que no lo quiere ver.

    Creo que estas equivocado, en esa epoca tenían que ser 100% limpios, es decir sin esteroides (por que esa era la única "ayuda" a la que podian optar) en cambio en los nuevos tiempos, los deportistas trabajan con rutinas desarrolladas por profesionales, suplementos, proteinas, recuperadores fisicos, quemadores de grasa, con las raquetas de ahora es muy fácil pegar saques a 200 km, la tecnología de encordados también es muy distinta, poliester, micro o mono filamento, en cambio en esa epoca era todo por tripa de vaca, asi que obviamente hay diferencias con los deportes de ahora con los de antes, si no dime, ¿por que aun existen récords olimpicos de hace 50 años que aun no se pueden batir?

Last night I watched the " BorgMcEnroe" film and it showed how they both got to this stage in their lives and the intensity by Borg was Superhuman. He ALWAYS did every single thing exactly the same each year. Same 50 tuned rackets.Same hotel.Same room. Same food.No detail was missed.Incredible film...
