Way more than just a a moment...........

Borg vs. McEnroe 1980 Wimbledon Finals

18-16 fourth set tie breaker that took 22 minutes to finish.

McEnroe saved seven match points in the fourth set, five of them in that excruciating 34-point tie breaker.

I remember that titanic match!

The crowd gave MacEnroe a standing ovation at the end of that tie-break.Incredible game and of course Mac came back the next year and got the job done.Stopping Borg's amazing run after being one of the ballboys when Borg one his first!
