In yet another rematch between John McEnroe and Björn Borg, McEnroe celebrates a victory over the five-time defending champion in the 1981 Wimbledon finals. Borg attempted to tie William Renshaw's record of six consecutive Wimbledon titles and Roy Emerson's all-time record of 12 major titles. McEnroe's victory was his first Wimbledon singles title and third major singles title overall.
