Many thanks for this , I remember the day well , I was a huge fan of Borg but on this day we were taken on a schooo trip to watch England play cricket at lord’s . When I heard not g was 2 sets down I was very upset ! My teacher said, well he has to lose sometime, but of course that was not to be on this occasion but against Mac in the final
@@kikaa1884 Yeah, but Borg quit and McEnroe and Connors won 3 more each. Also, the two Americans rarely played in the French when Borg dominated that event. It's possible they might have beaten him once or twice, especially Connors in 1974.
Super qualité d'image. C'est ce genre de match ajouté à la rivalité avec Mcenroe qui a véritablement popularisé le tennis. Comme disait Mac, Connors peut perdre 100 fois de suite contre vous, il continuera de penser qu'il peut vous avoir.
@@tennis80sfrenchtv62 Ah quel dommage! Le retour de Borg qui fini par gagner en 5 sets... Mythique! Merci encore pour ces vidéos! Si vous en avez d'autres de Borg, n'hésitez pas! ;-)))
He was already deeply "burn out". According to one Swedish documentary, he has enough from the year 1979. On the other hand this was a great match 6:0 and 0:6 in the same match, you don't see that often.
@@michaelm7717 I believe that. I think that 1980 Wimbledon Final between him & John McEnroe, the greatest tennis match ever played, burnt him out even though he won that match. What makes that 1980 Wimbledon Final so tragic for Borg was that he should've won it in 4 sets. He was two points away on his serve from winning the match. After that epic match we just saw the left over residue of his greatness. I'm not taking anything away from John McEnroe's victories over Borg in their last three Grand Slam Finals but things would've been different had John McEnroe played a prime Bjorn Borg especially on clay. I wish Bjorn Borg did what Ivan Lendl did after John McEnroe was briefly dominating him by getting himself into better strength physical conditioning and working on changing his game a little bit.
@@theoriginalthinker9199 He lost both Finals & Jimmy Connors, who he owned, won the first two sets convincing against Bjorn Borg in this Semi-Final which he never would've been able to do against Borg in his prime. In his comeback in this match to win the next three sets Bjorn Borg didn't look right. In the 1981 U.S. Open Final against John McEnroe he was missing shots when McEnroe wasn't even pressuring him. He was just awful in that Final.
@@SuperPrince1007Nobody ever "owned" Jimmy Connors. Head to head Borg has the advantage, but Connors beat him at the 76 and 78 USO final, while Borg was in his prime. The 76 was played on clay. Borg's favorite surface, and Connors least favorite. Borg received death threats prior to the 81 USO final, which may account for why he played so bad, but the bottomline is, 25 years old is way too young to be declining.
@faustoferrari4303 Come qualita` di gioco , non come risultati contro il campione svedese . Negli ultimi anni , contro Borg , anche le partite che Connors poteva vincere le perdeva : quindi pagava uno scotto psicologico ( le sconfitte consecutive sommandosi creano un effetto psicologico devastante ) , ma in ultima analisi era il servizio di Borg a fare la differenza tra i due . Tolto il servizio , statistiche alla mano , nel gioco in campo Connors aveva piu` punti vincenti di Borg anche nelle partite perse con risultati severi ( vedi statistiche su talk tennis ) . E poi scusami , Connors era proprio bello da vedere in campo . Ad ogni modo capisco il tuo punto di vista e lo rispetto .
@@oscarrolando3448 Nice analysis, I particularly agree with you about the disparity in their respective serves. I think you are probably right about the cumulative negative psychological effects of continuous defeats, but if anyone had the competitive spirit to overcome this hurdle it would have been Connors. I've always been curious to know what would have happened if Borg had not retired in 1981 as Connors was resurgent in 82/83 beating McEnroe in big matches and it was McEnroe's growing dominance over Borg in 80-81 that triggered The Swede's meltdown and subsequent retirement. Do you have any stats on their clay court clashes? I always thought Borg had to go down in history as the superior player because he was almost unbeatable at the French and also beat Connors four times on the Wimbledon grass. I know Jimmy was dominant at the US Open (and beat him on clay in the 76 final), but Borg did win their last meeting at Flushing Meadows in 1981. It would have been interesting if Connors had played Roland Garros in 74 as not only could he have possibly beaten the very young Borg on clay, but would have won a calendar grand slam (which nobody has managed to do since). Anyway, I've always been a huge Connors fan and he remains a unique player. Sorry for replying in English, but though my ethnicity is Italian I'm not confident enough in my written Italian to use it in such a long posting.
bonsoir merci pour la suite de ce matche mythique qui fait partie des meilleures borg/connors
Quel plaisir d entendre Hervé...toute mon enfance😇😘😇

Pro Tennis(1974 to 1981) era
Bjorn Borg won 11 major titles and Jimmy Connors won 5 major titles and John McEnroe won 4 major titles.

The quality of this is amazing until the ball is in play..but it could be cleaned up..Wimbledon channel is almost worse!
Best match ever Borg Connors,and Master NY 79

Even though Bjorn Borg made a miraculous comeback to win this match you can tell his game was on the decline.

He's only 25. He won the French, made it to the Wimbledon and USO final. How could his game be on the decline?

He was gorgeous jimmy was a really great looking guy. I like Federer too he’s cute. so is Fernando Valenzuela. also and Peter rose.
Way better than the McEnroe Final
Connors come qualita` di gioco non e` mai stato inferiore a Borg .
Look, I preferred Jimbo as well, but that's nonsense. Borg had his number from 79-81.
