Nastase Favored For Top Net Title At Wimbledon
Ilie Nastase, the Romanian star, looms as the hot favorite to win Wimbledon’s top men’s crown after defeating Raul Ramirez in a semifinal that many call the best match of the tournament. He faces Bjorn Borg in the final as lingering temper issues threaten his chances. Evonne Goolagong meets Chris Evert in the women’s final, each seeking a first or second Wimbledon title. Nastase’s past tantrums contrast with a reportedly composed run to this year’s final, though Thursday’s semifinal flare when he complained about photographers and swatted at one with a towel raises questions about his temper in the decisive match.
