Borg-McEnroe, Federer-Nadal Wimbledon finals air on NBCSN next week
Epic Wimbledon finals, including Bjorn Borg–John McEnroe and Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal, air on NBCSN in primetime next week.
The “NBC Sports From the Vault” series continues with Wimbledon and French Open finals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Some highlights:
1980 Wimbledon men’s final (Monday, 9:30 p.m. ET): Borg comes back to beat McEnroe for his fifth straight title in what was considered the greatest match in history. Particularly for the fourth-set tiebreak, a 20-minute affair won by McEnroe 18-16, saving five championship points. Borg won the fifth set 8-6, however.
