    Epic Television Sporting Event

    One of the great sporting events of the twentieth century was given first- class coverage in this truly epic live broadcast. As a personal challenge and grudge match, it offered high drama, incredible excitement, and mesmerizing television. Anyone who saw this take place live will echo the acclaim given here to what was the greatest tennis match of all time. Nothing like it has happened since and it's almost impossible to equal something of this magnitude. Unforgettable in every way, this staggering event fulfilled the potential of television to capture the attention of a nation and overwhelm viewers with pure emotion. It was simply television at its very finest, breathtaking in presentation and spectacularly produced.
