Editorial Review: Product Description: There have been many legendary encounters during the illustrious history of Wimbledon, none more so than the men¹s semi-final match between Bjorn Borg and Vitas Gerulaitis in 1977. Seeded number 8, Vitas Gerulaitis was up against his longtime friend and practice partner, Bjorn Borg, seeded number 2 and also the defending champion. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A great match to studyThis match is one of my favorites to study for many resons. Borg's ability to hold out on the baseline on grass was unbelievable when you consider the number of attacking players around at the time. In this case, Vitas would be the classic attacking player against a great baseliner. Even though Borg did work on and develope a fairly reliable net game, he rarely if ever looked comfortable up there. If anything, I think his fitness was the main reason he was able to hold out for so long ... Read More Rating: - Gerulaitus vs. BorgFirst-rate tennis match, presented with near ideal picture and sound. This was the match of Gerulaitis' life. And, if anyone still wonders why Borg is considered one of the tennis greats, this is a good place to start. There are not many matches worth studying, but this is one of them. The unfolding of the play--the drama--remains gripping, even though we already know the outcome. A must for players and fans alike. |
