Day 10: July 5, 1980: Borg vs. McEnroe

In the final of the 1980 Wimbledon Championships, Björn Borg defeated John McEnroe 1–6, 7–5, 6–3, 6–7(16–18), 8–6. The tie-break which resulted in an 18-16 win by McEnroe in which he saved five championship points, was later described by one reporter as "the most riveting episode in the sport's history." In September of this past year, the film Borg McEnroe was released starring Shia LaBeouf and Sverrir Gudnason focusing on the famous rivalry between both stars John McEnroe and Björn Borg at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships.
