1978 Roland Garros - Final: Borg vs Vilas

[francocoscia]

Quiero verlo a Nadal jugar con estas raquetas, canchas y vestimentas... No son nada iguales a las de ahora...

[peruomar1]

compara la cantidad y calidad de torneos que rafa ganó sobre tierra con los de vilas...y te darás cuenta que no hay punto de comparación...

[AngelotePokemon]

@peruomar1 si nadal es mil veces mejor a vilas y borg juntos

[gusma72]

@AngelotePokemon NO ENTENDES NADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA PUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AngelotePokemon]

@gusma72 puto tu padre hijo de remil puta tu mierda de vilas no se compara con nadal mongolico de mierda no tienes ni idea de tenis ve primero los resultados y despues hablas hijo de puta

[peruomar1]

viendo a borg y vilas en este video, aseguro, una vez más, que rafa nadal es el más grande de todos lo tiempos sobre tierra...sin punto de comparación...rafa barre a estos sin despeinarse...

[martinr345345]

@peruomar1 Compadre no podes comparar las épocas y los estilos de juego. Siempre hablan de quien fue mejor y el por qué entre Federer , Sampras y Laver , entre otros . Y la discución va a ser eterna . Laver es el único que consiguio 2 veces el Grand Slam , Federer cuantas cosas ya logro , Masters Cup , Grand Slams , etc ,etc Sampras el que mayor cantidad de semanas como N 1 Connors el que mas títulos gano , hasta Vilas es el que mayor cantidad de torneos en un año y partidos

[martinr345345]

@peruomar1 y partidos ganados consecutivamente que , de no haber sido por el famoso partido con el doble encordado , sería mas grande ,ya que después de esa derrota gano varios partidos mas . Lo que decís sobre tierra es verdad , pero también Borg tiene el merito de haber sido bueno en Rg y Wimbledon a la vez . Lo bueno de ver estos partidos es que te das cuenta que ahora todos juegan , en general , igual y que las taquetas evolucionaron mucho para bien y para mal.

[martinr345345]

@peruomar1 Por ej , Vilas es el argentino que gano mas GS pero Nalbandian es el único que logro alzancar todas las semifinales de Gs. algo que Vilas no logró en Wimbledon. No porque no supiera jugar en cesped, ya que cuando gano en Australia lo hizo sobre cesped. Pero bueno, volviendo a lo de Rafa, a mi no es el tenista que mas me gusta mirar, sin embargo , hay que reconocer que es un gran campeón.Si gana un título mas en RG seguramente no habrá mas dudas,por lo menos en lo numerico

[chimetrooper]

Time to cut the hands of these fucking commentators!

[kimskis]

Borg looks like a prototypical pusher judjing from these clips...hates coming to the net and misses sitters there too, but feels just fine with passing shots and endless baseline exchanges. Snooze-inducing stuff

[93RastafarianPikachu]

@kimskis Nah, just on clay he knew he could outlast any man in terms of conditioning. Limitations of the technology allowed him to play like this on clay. He had wicked passing shots which fucked over most of the serve and volleyer types around back then. + you don't win 5 wimbledons being a pusher.

[SavagePersonified90]

This is like watching a Nadal-Djokovic match! Tedious, endless baseline rallies with no power or shot making ability, basically just waiting for the other player to make the first unforced error. That is why people love Roger Federer so much, because he has all the shots and the classic elegance of tennis. He also plays engaging matches and often raises the quality of tennis in his opponents because he forces them to play more aggressive and engaging tennis.

[afsaldurranihotmail]

@SavagePersonified90 i agree but atleast nadal and djoko's rallies are exciting and powerful shots but in this their is no power and excitement in it plain boring thats it....

[cain2335]

@afsaldurranihotmail the racquets back then didnt allow for very powerful hitting. give nadal and djokovic wooden racquets, and federer too, and their games would be completely ineffective. you had to take a controlled swing back then. and spin was used to keep the ball in the court, not hit winners like the top 3 players today

[afsaldurranihotmail]

@cain2335 yeah i understand it but its very boring...

[ulizinho]

@cain2335

exactly !

Spin allows players now to hit winners 2 m behind the base line, crazy angles. In those days, you had to approach to the net in order to hit an angle.

[chapeauvelu]

That's how tennis was... boring.

[sickdupin]

This is like watching women tennis.

[cythera4]

@sickdupin I'd like to see you return some of their shots, genius.

[jebzino]

@sickdupin no, because these guys actually come to the net and don't scream at the top of their lungs during every shot. Borg would still be able to beat most of you hackers even today.

[MrJeepsters]

Cette année là, il a massacré tout ces adversaires

[Shadevortex2]

haha, Fagel got bageled 

[hendrix77777]

soooooooo slllloooooooowwwwww

[dompaPro]

damn this is old :D

[ricochetlaugh]

i recently discovered that borg had that backhand 'cause he was a hockey player before get in tennis!!!

[tennisfanstefan]

If only Borg had played longer, how many more majors,especially French Opens, he would have won. No could could touch him on clay. I would love to see a French Open final between Nadal and Borg n his prime.

[leverwork1]

@tennisfanstefan

Borg would have won

[woodskier]

Borg: " Resistance is futile"

Vilas: Bring it on

Borg: " you will be assimilated"

[woodskier]

Borg: " Resistance is futile"

Vilas: Bring it on

Borg: " you will be assimilated"

[peterpeterxxo]

borg ee cuntz off dat muvvafukka vilas bitch innit.

[ekolder]

@peterpeterxxo I dig it bro...I dig.

[surfjabroni]

Ok I don't know that much about Vilas but wasn't he famous for his topspin? He had a decent backhand topspin, clay was his favourite surface and here he is slicing and dicing and getting his arse handed to him on a plate 6-1 6-1 6-3. Bad tactic.

[ekolder]

Borg owned this motherfucker

[leverwork1]

Vilas got smoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[floydian2007]

Look at 0:30, Borg only lost 31 game throughout 7 matches. The best anyone managed was Tanner taking him to a tie-break. Walk in the park for Borg.

[SuperAaight]

0.36

fucking chair !

[argentinodiegomarado]

0.26 OWNED

[rebekitapalermo]

el fisico jamas visto en un tenista ...guillermo vilas el mejor tenista y el mas bello de todoss....

[cappoblanca]

I have been playing tennis for 40 years now. Seems that every 15-20 years brings on a new dimension in style of fplay, more influenced because of racquet technology and many players copying their favorite players. In Texas during the 70s many players would copy Borg and his two-handed backhand, when I would travel around playing tournaments in the spring and summer. In 1967 a skinny Black player was invited to play tennis at the Ft. Benning, GA officers' club and play their top player. Ashe won!

[1937fordor]

Ha! the scores were insane those days 6-1 6-1 6-1, 6-0 6-0 6-0, 6-0 6-2 6-2...

[aggbala]

@1937fordor ya borg really ownd all in his prime

[arabiannights100]

Vilas looks like Puyol

[75funk75]

ottima la performance di barazzutti in semifinale

[kelman221]

As funny as this is to watch, i can really appreciate how tennis was played back then. Not as flashy, but looks a lot tougher because nobody seems to be hitting flat smack shot like so many people do now.

[keckvan66]

This is more like a game of chess

[VellamyHarquinn]

@keckvan66 Sucks that the rackets were previously extremely difficult to use eh? Haha.

[Branimir86]

This is like slow motion compared to today's tennis.

[leverwork1]

@Branimir86 Well it would be great to see the players today use the wood racquets in todays game , as connors said you would have a different top 10

[IStef11]

lol their playing style is soooo DAMN funny :)) they look like raccoons :))

[IStef11]

Go Rafa ! I had to say that ;))

[nano2109]

@IStef11 FUCK RAFA, ROGER FEDERER THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!

[IStef11]

@nano2109 My man :)) I have to agree with you ! Go Roger :))

P.S.

Proof: My channel is a Federer one :)

[rasputin725]

borg era un pésimo voleador. Tennis blandooooooooooooooooooo.

[89Pleasek]

Borg ate him up for breakfast

[gracejijiji]

OMG Look at those rackets - wood rackets!

[BrotherTree1]

lol omfg dude, just pause at 0:26. that is a genius bout of destruction to get to the final by borg there.

[Vespa412]

@BrotherTree1 You ain't kidding >_> 6 bagels throughout the tournament

[ManiPulatoR84]

@Vespa412 seven bagels ;-)

[Jaishankar100]

@BrotherTree1 just goes to show that we still cant conclude that nadal is the greatest clay court player of all time ..!

[TheRoserver]

@BrotherTree1 poor Rick Fagel...

[TemperedWell]

@TheRoserver I think there is a mistake in this clip and Fagel did win a game in the second set. So he isn't so poor after all. How many people can go through life saying they won a game against Bjorn Borg in the French Open?
