John McEnroe defeats Bjorn Borg in
four sets in the Wimbledon final
4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 6-4
Ending the Swede's run of five singles
titles, McEnroe overcame a first set
loss to claim victory. Borg's cool
calm was contrasted by the fiery
McEnroe who has made a name for
himself as a super brat, most
shockingly yelling "You cannot be
serious!" but against Borg he managed
to keep his cool and displayed
marvelous volleying and shot artistry
to claim the win.
