The finest of tennis dramas, featuring 2 Wimbledon greats battling each other with the chips down or forced into using defensive gambles, when continuous play was the rule; no sitting down for commercial breaks ( all 5 sets), without toweling down on court or asking ball girls to pick a best ball, no tantrums, a dueling of wits.
