HBO Documentary: McEnroe-Borg: Fire & Ice

Anyone going to watch this? The first airing will be on June 11 at 10 PM EST. A heavy focus will be on their 1980 Wimbledon clash in the Finals where Borg took McEnroe in 5 amazing sets (Well 4, the first was a blowout).

The trailer doesn't inspire me, but HBO always does a good job on these so it'll definitely be a good watch.

Wasn't the 4th set tie break legendary?

I remember watching it on classics a million times whenever there was a rain delay at a grand slam.
