Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sport turns the clock back 40 years to 1980 in today’s classic Wimbledon finals, which feature four tennis legends and the most famous tie-break in history.
Evonne Goolagong Cawley won the Wimbledon title as a teenager back in 1971, and the popular Australian, now a mother, is looking to win it again nine years later. She faces another fans’ favourite in American Chris Evert, who is aiming to lift the famous Venus Rosewater dish for the third time.
The men’s singles final that year features the top two seeds, with ice-cool Swede Bjorn Borg up against fiery young American rival John McEnroe. Borg had won the Wimbledon title in each of the previous four years, but 21-year-old McEnroe claimed his first Grand Slam at the US Open the year before and now has the Wimbledon singles crown in his sights.
