  • i love tennis, and i had already fallen in love with john mcenroe when he hit at wimbledon '77. borg/mcenroe are the best modern tennis rivalry i've ever seen. i always watched "breakfast at wimbledon" july 4th holiday for the men's finals, so i saw this entire match. my god, it was incredible. this entire game (tiebreaker in particular) was the best tennis i have EVER SEEN. i was screaming for mcenroe on every point! thanks for posting....

  • The best tennis Match in men's tennis history and that includes this year's Australian Open final. These guys brought out the very best in each other.

  • @menelith1 Wimbledon 2008.

  • My parents had pushed me towards tennis (I stunk at it), but after Dad died in 1979, I kept watching. One early July morning in 1980, I watch this as part of "Breakfast at Wimbeldon." This was long before ESPN or 24-hour sports coverage, so it was odd to see a championship event at that hour. I saw this amazing tiebreaker live, and it just left everyone speechless. These two players needed each other to bring out their mutual greatness.

  • This is one of the first tennis matches I ever saw on TV and fell in love with the game - I was on the edge of my seat and picked Borg to cheer for.

  • this is before dick enberg

  • too bad borg had to sell all his shit

  • @chillaxer1993 He bought it all back at a loss.

  • borg and mcenroe are like bird and magic... one match connected them together...

  • Great work! Thanks for the upload. I was lucky enough to watch this on tv 30 years ago, and it's great to see it again. What a game!

  • This was the first tennis match that I ever watched. I just so happened to have nothing else to do that day and on it came, so I though I'd see what all the hoopla was about. I was sold from that moment on! Talk about sticking in your thumb and pulling out a plum! I didn't leave my seat all day.

  • Not sure I have all of it. Might have started taping late in the match. Not the greatest quality.

    Now that YouTube has expanded the time limits I can upload longer versions. But I don't want to go back and repost everything

  • Do you have NBC's full coverage of this match?
