Lauren Milius says...

What about the fantastic match in 1981 when John McEnroe beat Borg? That was one of the greatest and most thrilling matches ever played and no-one ever mentions it. Borg retired immediately after and never gave McEnroe another opportunity to carry on the great rivalry that was between them.
