The Wimbledon Collection - The Classic Match - Borg vs. McEnroe 1980 Final


The Wimbledon Collection - The Classic Match - Borg vs. McEnroe 1980 Final
As The Wimbledon Championships moved into the eighties, they were greeted by one of the most memorable Gentlemen's Singles Final's ever. Running Time: 240 minutes. Code: VHD13.
Customer Review: My How Tennis Has Changed!
Somewhat underwhelming. There were a few good shots back then, but it's amazing how much faster, harder, and more exciting today's tennis is. You feel like you are really watching an antique. Low production values on the film as well. Boring old English announcers. Slow pace. But interesting for historical value if you are a student of the game.
Customer Review: Good, but frame rate seems a little off.
Borg was my idol when I was beginning to play tennis, so I have enjoyed watching this match. The editing was good, but it seemed that the frame rate was a little off. Borg and Mac seemed a little "robotic" like the editor decided to speed up time by about 15%. Still enjoyable.
