One of my favourite tennis matches was about 1981 Wimbledon mens semi final Connors v Borg, Connors was leading 2 sets to live, Borg won 3-2 in the end, great game, I think it was the final Borg played McEnroe for the 1st time & beat him
I loved Wimbledon back then, from about 1977 till 86It was a bit strange after 1981
Borg went into a 'break' and Connors came back to the top and won Wimbledon and the US Open in 1982 and US Open in 1983, before McEnroe took over big time
Borg never came back to the top
