Description:
There have been numerous classic encounters during The Wimbledon Championships, none more so than the 1981 Men's Final between John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. There could not have been two more contrasting characters, McEnroe renowned for his temper tantrums and Borg the ice-cool and reserved Swede. 202 minutes of gripping action and incredible tennis. Borg and McEnroe battled it out, pushing their levels of physical and mental endurance to the limit in this dramatic 4 set showdown.

Rating:  - Not a complete version of the match
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2WJCL6H37AQU6 This version of the match is described on the cover as "THE FULL LENGTH COVER VERSION", but a good deal of the match has been discretely cut out.

Rating:  - Classic Tennis Match
Although the 1980 Wimbledon Final between Borg and McEnroe is more famous, this match is a classic in its own right.Top quality tennis of contrasting styles, superb understated commentary, extremely clear, vivid picture.And since McEnroe always behaved himself when he played Borg out of respect for Borg, it's not the behavior but the beauty of McEnroes's tennis, that finally takes center stage.Experiencing Borg the iceman, and the volcanic yet controlled McEnroe at the top of their games, makes ...

Rating: - A Classic
As a tennis fan I'm always into classic matches, and they dont come much closer than this. An electrifying match showing the two men at their best. The DVD also comes with great extras which are also very entertaining. A terrific buy!
