1984 Wimbledon Final:
McEnroe defeats Connors:
6-1, 6-1, 6-2.
The Plot: This match may have been
McEnroe's finest moment on a tennis
court. The match was highly
anticipated and it was expected to be
close. It was anything but. McEnroe
was brilliant from every part of the
court and never gave Connors, who had
unexpectedly defeated him in the 1982
Final, a chance to get into the match.
The match: McEnroe opens the match by
holding serve to love and then goes on
to break Connors in the next game.
McEnroe is as sharp as you would ever
see, and Connors has to play a very
Next Prev Home End
