This is great! "Magic of Wimbledon"/"Grande Wimbledon"/"La Magia Wimbledon" sequence of YT-clips contains some really rare, platinum moments from The Championships.
In this first clip of 6 all in all we see some familiar stuff but a lot of real great and hard-to-find jewels. The first clip alone features:
Borg vs Taylor 1973
Evert/Martina/Jaeger/Wade/Carina Karlsson (!?) et al
(the real treat for me always chasing great Kenny-vids) Rosewall vs Richey 1971 (great to see Ken score great winners and a final victory in a hardcore dogfight -- check out the score-line behind them -- and to top it off Ken gets a standing ovation!)
Hoad vs Rosewall 1956 (Hoad with the golden trophy included)
Rosewall vs Connors 1974
Goolagong et al:

Then follow the clips called Wimbledon 2 ( and 3, 4, 5 and 6) and you'll witness some priceless stuff -- such as:
Mac vs Jimbo 1984 (last two games -- Mac playing like a madman great)
Lots of Pat Cash
Mac vs Cash SF 1984
Several Borg-matches and a special, wonderful volley-study made in slow-motion on some of Björn's finest volleys (together with several others) which demonstrate that Fortress could whack 'em like the greats when he needed to.
Laver of course... Oh, I can't mention all here but just a few real standouts:
Becker vs Joakim Nyström 1985 (in that great five-setter you see some wonderful stuff from Boris The Steamroller and even some impressive Joakim S&V -- yes, I know, unbelievable...)
And some incredibly wonderful stuff from the doubles in the late 70s and early 80s including Mac, The McNamara/McNamee, Smith, Gottfried and several others but last but not least the incomparable Frew McMillan (sporting the Norman Brookes 1907 hat) blasting his DH FH and DH BH together with Bob Hewitt or RAJ Hewitt as I used to call him...
The doubles-clips are fantastic -- worth the price of admission alone. They arrive in the later clips -- Wimbledon 4 or 5 or something.
Enjoy...
