Customer Review: Amazing
I love Pete Sampras since he retired, tennis is not the same except maybe a little bit RN. The DVD is wonderful and I was pleased with the outcome. Pete was always I gentleman, sportsman and never will forget when he said "I let the racket do the talking"

The Wimbledon Collection - Legends of Wimbledon - Bjorn Borg 
As Wimbledon fever takes over tennis courts up and down the country Legends of Wimbledon – Bjorn Borg offers a unique insight into the life of one of the all-time greats of men’s tennis.
Customer Review: Incredible given how hard it is to find footage of Borg
What a classic of the greatest player to hit the court. Yes, many others were more talented and better skilled, but this man's overall ability to win on grass is something else and his on-court presence remains unparalled to this day. For example, John McEnroe was another great, it was sheer ability...

Each of his finals are covered & the progress is well done & you get a good sense of his developement as a player as he grew up fro...
Wimbledon Classic Match: Federer vs Sampras
In many ways Federer is much like the man he succeeded at the All England Club in 2001.
Federer showed his former idol the door with a sensational performance. The fourth-round thriller ended Sampras' remarkable reign - at least for the moment.
Sampras held a set point in the opening tiebrea...
Customer Review: Great look back at tennis history
The tennis here speaks for itself - two exquisite talents going for their shots - absolutely mind-blowing stuff. And it's just a plain old lot of fun to watch this match from a historical perspective. The commentators refer to Sampras as "The Great Man" and take the measure of the then-unproven Fe...
Customer Review: The best DVD for tennis lovers!!!
The highest video and audio quality for one of the most exciting tennis matches of history, I'm so glad of having it home!!!

Customer Review: Borg vs McEnroe Wimbledon 1980
Received earlier than expected. Great to watch one of the most exciting Wimbledon championship matches. Also fun to see how much has changed over the years.
The Wimbledon Collection - The Classic Match - Borg vs. McEnroe 1981 Final 
There have been numerous classic encounters during The Wimbledon Championships, none more so than the 1981 Men's Final between John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. There could not have been two more contrasting characters, McEnroe renowned for his temper tantrums and Borg the ice-cool and reserved Swede. 20...
Customer Review: Still good tennis !
While not as compelling and not quite the caliber of the 1980 match - the '81 final is still worth watching. For me, more because historically this was really the changing of the guard - at the time. Though Borg would play the U.S. Open after this match, this was the one that brought him down (sad...
Wimbledon 2000 Men's Final - Sampras vs. Rafter
Pete Sampras was the king of Centre Court throughout the 1990s, and looked to continue his championship streak into the new millennium as he faced 12th seeded Australian Patrick Rafter in the 2000 Men's Final at Wimbledon. Sampras had a fairly easy trip through the tournament, losing only three sets... Customer Review: Sampras v. Rafter Wimbledon Final
As a huge Rafter fan, I taped this match off NBC-TV that day and have since transferred it to DVD. I will appreciate the near-HD quality of this Kultur production. (I own 5 other Classic Wimbledon (Kultur) matches) Two of the greatest, all-courters go at it here. The athleticism, quick...

Ivanisevic came into The Championships as one of six wil...
Customer Review: Epic battle
This match is one of the best tennis matches I've seen at wimbledon. The crowd was charged and cheering with every point. Neither players have gotten a title before but had been finalists. Five sets of high quality tennis. I only gave it a four because it is tennis.
Customer Review: Historical & Brilliant!
What an amazing final! One could not ask for a more entertaining, thrilling & nailbiting men's Wimbledon final match-up! On one side, the previous year's runner-up, the modest & amazingly talented Pat Rafter. On the other, the fantastic & desperately proud Croatian warrior Goran Ivanisevic, who came...

Connors, a self-taught player from Belleville, Illinois, had burst onto the tennis scene only a couple of years earlier and was taking the...
Customer Review: wonderful
Although I've been playing tennis consistently since I was a kid the mid '70s, this was the first time I've ever seen Arthur Ashe play a full match. What a treat! He was graceful and smooth, and he had a MONSTER serve that he could move all over the box. I've read about this match many times, and I'...
Customer Review: Classic Tennis Players
I was glad to get this DVD, mostly because of Arthur Ashe. This is the first DVD that I know of that shows him in a tennis match. I was amazed to see how fast these guys serve the ball - not for the speed of the ball when served but for how little time they took between each ended point to serve the...
Legends of Wimbledon - Billie Jean King
Billie Jean’s contribution to Wimbledon during the late 60's and early 70's and the influence she had on the tennis world was, and is, immense. She is a six-time Ladies' Singles Champion and a 10-time Ladies Doubles Champion; quite an incredible achievement. Today, King remains an icon and continue... Customer Review: Overview of a Tennis Legend
This is a very nice overview of Ms King's Wimbledon career with some additional info on her world-wide experiences. My only gripe is that I wish there had been a lot more focus on her Wimbledon career & save the additional stuff for another DVD. She has made such a huge contribution to the game of

Customer Review: Low quality DVD
I see this match before on my HD net work TV, and I think the match was very excited. How ever I am very disappoint for the quality of the British DVD. I mean if you want to record and sale the best match like this at less create a professional recording system. The picture quality is very poor. I t...
Customer Review: Yep, greatest match ever played
I kept hearing this was the greatest match ever played. Now I agree. So fun to see this classic match, though I was disappointed it wasn't U.S. sportscasters commentating and the camera angles shortened the court. They also don't do instant replays I'm accustomed to with matches I watch on ESPN o...
Wimbledon 2007 Final: Federer vs. Nadal

The 7-6 (9-7) 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 6-2 vic...
Customer Review: Always Enjoy a great match.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the DVD does not offer much more than just the match as it was broadcast. I would like to have seen an option for more angles of play or some separate bit on analysis of each players strategy, or... something. It was such a great match I had to b...
Customer Review: Capturing the essence of the match
The video captured the essence of the match and was entertaining from the first point. The British commentaries fell flat, though, compared to their American counterparts.

Wimbledon 2000 Semi-Final - Agassi vs. Rafter
Features one of the most memorable Gentlemen's Singles Final's ever. Few people can provide the kind of match Andre Agassi and Patrick Rafter played on Centre Court at the Wimbledon 2000 Semifinal. With two very contrasting styles, the match proved to be a thriller, with excitement, entertainment an... Customer Review: Not essential unless you love tennis
Not the greatest quality wise but pretty much a by the books recap of one of the greatest tennis matches in history. one of the first i ever saw & been addicted to tennis ever since
Customer Review: Great match up
Most of the time they talk about the great rivalry with Sampras and Agassi. But when Agassi played Rafter it was fun to watch as well. This match goes five sets and is and excellent example of strategy in tennis.
Wimbledon Classic Match: Gerulaitis vs Borg
There have been many legendary encounters during the illustrious history of Wimbledon, none more so than the men¹s semi-final match between Bjorn Borg and Vitas Gerulaitis in 1977.
Seeded number 8, Vitas Gerulaitis was up against his long time friend and practice partner, Bjorn Borg, seeded number...
Customer Review: A great match to study
This match is one of my favorites to study for many resons. Borg's ability to hold out on the baseline on grass was unbelievable when you consider the number of attacking players around at the time. In this case, Vitas would be the classic attacking player against a great baseliner. Even...
Customer Review: Gerulaitus vs. Borg
First-rate tennis match, presented with near ideal picture and sound. This was the match of Gerulaitis' life. And, if anyone still wonders why Borg is considered one of the tennis greats, this is a good place to start. There are not many matches worth studying, but this is one of them. The unfolding...

Customer Review: Save your money
Total ripoff. Less than an hour including extras, more shots of crowd members than players, and the boring voice-over frequently reminding us that this is the only tennis tournament that really matters doesn't help a whit. A truly pointless dvd with very little tennis. Summing up hundreds of matches...

Very enjoyable match, I would love to see all of the championship matches between these 2 on DVD
Customer Review: Classic Navratilova-Evert Final
This 1978 final was the first of five finals played at Wimbledon between these two legendary players. They also played in the 1979,1982,1984 and 1985 finals-all won by Navratilova.I was surprised how clear and crisp the picture on this dvd is. It does'nt appear like it was filmed 31 years ago.
