Grand Finale Painting

John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. From Wikipedia: "John McEnroe (7 Major singles titles, world No.1 for 170 weeks) and Björn Borg (11 Major singles titles, world No.1 for 109 weeks). The tennis players Björn Borg and John McEnroe met 14 times on the regular tour and 22 times in total, with their on-court rivalry highlighted by their contrasting temperaments and styles. Borg was known for his cool and emotionless demeanor on court, while McEnroe was famed for his court-side tantrums. Their rivalry extended between 1978 and 1981, with each player winning seven times against the other.[2] Because of their contrasting personalities, their rivalry was described as "Fire and Ice". In 1980 McEnroe reached the men's singles final at Wimbledon for the first time, where he faced Borg, who was aiming for an Open Era record fifth consecutive Wimbledon title. At the start of the final McEnroe was booed by the crowd as he entered Centre Court following his heated exchanges with officials during his semi-final clash with Jimmy Connors. In a fourth set tie-breaker that lasted 20 minutes, McEnroe saved five match points (seven altogether in that set) and eventually won 18–16. However, he was unable to break Borg's serve in the fifth set and Borg went on to win 8–6. This match is widely considered one of the best tennis matches ever played.[citation needed] McEnroe defeated Borg at the US Open final the same year in five sets."
