Borg Outlasts Lendl For French Open Title
Bjorn Borg defeated Ivan Lendl 6 1 46 6 2 3 6 1 to win his sixth French Open crown and fourth straight. The 25 year old Swedish star endured a grueling final on clay at Roland Garros, saving four set points and sealing the decisive fifth set after a tense rally war. Borg earned 49000 dollars and joined Henri Cochet as a six time French champion, the first to achieve the feat. Lendl, 21, showcased stamina and top spin power but could not halt Borg’s steady aggression as the match stretched over long exchanges and pivotal moments.
