1980

Bjorn Borg’s meeting with John McEnroe was a classic clash of ice-cool efficiency against fiery genius.

The Swede would claim his fifth title on the trot, but only after an epic 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 (16-18), 8-6 struggle – and the American would get his revenge in the Final the following year, the first of three SW19 crowns.
