[@Valsarno]

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!"

[@TT_1221]

Legendary, historic, epic. Ranks right up the there with Ali vs Frazier, Bird vs Magic. Unforgettable. I was rooting for Borg as were a lot of people.

[@adrianboyddodd8007]

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.

[@gunternetzer9621]

When Borg won his first French Open in 1974, Fred Perry was asked after thematch if Borg could ever win at Wimbledon to which he replied, 'Certainly'. 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.

[@jameswalker6864]

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.

[@shaunhumphreys6714]

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.

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.
