About this book

BORG LEADS BY TWO SETS TO ONE, but McEnroe won’t go quietly. The fourth set explodes into one of the greatest tiebreaks ever seen — McEnroe saves five match points, the crowd gasping at every shot. 14 minutes of pure tension later, he takes it 18 – 16. Borg, expressionless, walks back to serve for the fifth. Point by point, the Swede regains control. At 8 – 6, he seals it with an ace. His fifth consecutive Wimbledon crown. Ice cool. Unstoppable.

Follow the story of Wimbledon through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports spanning the tournament’s history. This edition charts the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament — exactly as it was reported at the time.

– The legendary showdowns between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe
