Unvergesslich...ich saß schwitzend und mitfiebernd vor meinem großen Röhrenfernseher. Dieses Match war der Beginn meiner Liebe zum Tennis. Ich war damals 24 Jahre alt. Auch wenn ich noch nie in meinem Leben Tennis gespielt habe, weil ich nicht dafür gemacht bin, freue ich mich trotzdem immer noch sehr, wenn ich die Gelegenheit bekomme, ein Grand-Slam-Turnier im Fernsehen oder im Internet zu verfolgen. Ich schaue mir aber auch jedes andere größere Tennisturnier an, als Fan dieser Sportart möchte man nichts verpassen.
Curren blatantly outclassed by young Boris. Big serve took him far in 1985 and earned him a lot of tiebreaks, but a 17 year old already had a deeper and more polished game than his.
Well, Connors and Mcenroes perfomance vs Curren was not exactly polished either -they were never close to a set! Becker was brilliant, simply amazing talent. 17 years old and no fear in a final. Curren felt the pressure a bit I think. He had lost a final in AO (with a wooden racket!) in 84 . This was history(a legend in the making as Connors and Borg in 74 and Mcenroe 78/79.
Curren, the one-hit wonder in this tournament. Has beaten Connors and McEnroe. Against Becker, Curren looked like fallen out of the times. Complete different technique. Not able to handle Becker‘s spin and pressure. Curren knew that he would lose.

Eines der Highlights meiner Jugend. Werde ich nie vergessen. DANKE, BORIS.
I can't believe i was 13 when this happened! I remember watching it live. Seems SO long ago!
Boris, für mich bist und bleibst Du unsterblich
Becker, Edberg and Sampras are so much more exciting to watch than current baseliners
Agreed. Roger being an exception.
Bin Jahrgang 91 und sah das Match hier zum ersten Mal.👏🏽
Die Kariere und dieses Finale Turniere habe ich mit meinem Vater Live mitverfolgt. Es war damals voll der Hype. Unvergesslich. Tolle Erinnerung.
Amazing quality! THANK YOU!
Great Wimbledon final and nostalgia

Haha...mine is a similar story. But my first tennis match was the 1986 Wimbledon Final against the Great Ivan Lendle.
Both players were really gutsy. Very good match. Could have gone 5 sets. What a match.
boom boom becker i always loved to watch his matchesamazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Danke.
Look at how bad the court had worn out lots of low bad bounces I was watching this on TV and I was 20 years old then

In 1990, Becker was down 2 sets but came back to tie it only to lose in the 5th set against Stefan Edberg.
He later admitted he had been prescribed sleeping pills by some stupid doctor. That's why he lost concentration in that match.
I guess the biggest disappointment for Boris. Additionally because he was on the road to win in the 5th set.
Boris Becker bekant Tanis spiler in Germany ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Curren was 1983 in the semifinal in Wimbledon (and close to the final).
In todays standard, this looks like 50 year olds playing 😮 How bad are those serve and volleys?
Perhaps because it is almost... 50 years. Idi*t.
Weird how Becker was better as a youngster and got worse the older her got.. Peaked very early
