## Description

An enthralling contest between two great rivals. As Wimbledon began the second century of its illustrious history, the 1978 Ladies Singles Final between Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert produced an absorbing match between these two great rivals. There could not have been two more contrasting characters on the court, Navratilova with her fiery temperament, and Evert, the cool "ice maiden". Navratilova burst upon the scene as a highly promising 16 year-old in 1973, and within two years she was ranked No. 2 in the world behind her rival and friend, Chris Evert. And by 1978, Chris was in her prime looking to win her third Wimbledon Singles title. The stage was set for an enthralling contest. Right from the start there was a hint of a classic Final, as Evert set the pace with a confident performance, winning the first set 6-2. In the second set, Navratilova calmed her nerves and fought back to take the set 6-4. Plating tennis of the highest caliber, these champions fought a nail-biting third set as Evert won four games in a row. Navratilova surged back and made a wonderful recovery to win the first of her many Wimbledon titles.

    Classic Navratilova-Evert Final
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2009*

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. I also enjoyed the commentary from the BBC as opposed to Dick Enberg and Bud Collins(although I did enjoy their commentaries as well). Actually,1978 was the first year that NBC televised the finals as part of their "Breakfast At Wimbledon" coverage which still continues to this day.The one thing I always enjoyed about the Martina and Chris matches was the fact that you had two entirely different players with such contrasting styles of play.Chris was the consistent,steady player with her groundstrokes while you had the attacking,net-rushing play of Martina. Nowadays it seems like all the players,especially on the women's side,play the same way.Don't get me wrong,they are great players it just seems to me that the matches are not all that terribly exciting.And let's face it:there is only one Martina! She is,without a doubt,THE greatest woman tennis player who has ever lived(sorry Steffi)! In 1978,Martina was'nt even close to being the incredible athlete that she eventually became but it still showcases her incredible serve and volley talents.There was alot of drama in this match including Martina getting "beaned" in the head by a ball hit by Chris.She had to come back from being down in the third set to eventually win her first of 9 record-breaking singles titles. Obviously,I am a huge Martina fan and I truly enjoyed this match and am glad that it was preserved so pristinely and presented on dvd. My only complaint I have is that there are not more of Martina's finals available on dvd.John McEnroe and Billie-Jean King both have entire dvds showcasing their finest matches at Wimbledon. I think it should be the same for the woman who has won more singles titles than any other player at Wimbledon!
