It was the first time they met and it was also Macs easiest win. He was favored by the extremely fast surface in the Royal Tennis Hall. When they had a rematch in the 1980 Stockholm Open the arrangers had switched to a much slower plexipave surface and borg won comfortably.
I was a big Borg fan but he really did struggle with Mac's serve.
The Beginning of SuperMac Era !!!
First big win over Borg I think. And in Borg's home country.
