BORG WANTS BACK

Ready for big Mac attack

JOHN McENROE, the
number | player in the world,
and the legendary Bjorn Borg
will compete in The Wendy’s
Classic Challenge on Tues-
day, April 10 at B.C. Place.

The Wendy’s Classic
Challenge will mark only the
15th time in their careers that
Borg and McEnroe have
played each other and the
record stands at a tie with
seven wins and seven losses
each. These two. gifted
players have always had
superbly contested matches.
The most famous being the
1980 Wimbledon final which
produced the stunning 34
point tie-breaker which
McEnroe won to push the
match to an equally exciting
fifth set which Borg eventual-
ly won 8-6 giving him his
fifth consecutive Wimbledon
title.

Veteran tenmis watchers
say it was Wimbledon’s finest
match ever.

' AVENGED

McEnroe avenged that loss
two months later at the U.S.
Open where he won his se-
cond consecutive Open title
beating Borg in another
masterful five setter.

Although Bjorn Borg has
not been competing on the
main circuit this past year, he
has certainly not been idle.
Last fall in New Zealand, he
beat ’83 Wimbledon finalist,
Chris Lewis, in straight sets
in three matches played

throughout the country.
Teamed up with Bettina
Bunge in the World Mixed
Doubles championships they
reached the quarter finals. In

January, in a three-city chari-
ty tour, Borg beat his old
practise partner Vitas
Gerulaitis two out of three
matches.

Borg’s list of utles seems
almost endless. He has won
60 Grand Prix tournaments,
many of them more than
once. The most famous of
these, and a feat probably
never to be accomplished
again is the five consecutive
Wimbledon crowns and the
six French Open titles. Borg
has won the lItahan Open
twice, the WCT title once and
the Masters championship
twice. He led Sweden to the
Davis Cup title in 1975 and
has even been the Canadian
Open champion by defeating
McEnroe in the 1979 finals.

VOLATILE

John McEnroe burst into
the limelight when he was still
an amateur by starting as a
lowly qualifier and reaching
the semi-finals of ’77
Wimbledon before losing to
Jimmy Connors. Since that
time he hasn't often been out
of the limelight with his
volatile temperament making
as many headlines as his
superb tennis abilities.

At the age of 25, McEnroe
has won three consecutive
U.S. Open titles, two
Wimbledon crowns (is the
current champion) and in
January won his second
Masters championship to
make him the 1983 number
one player in the world. He is
also a terrific doubles player,
