With Rafael Nadal taking care of business in straight sets at the All England today over Tomas Berdych, we figured we'd take a look back at one of the best tennis matches of all time...

John McEnroe had reached the men's singles final for the first time. Bjorn Borg was aiming for a then-record fifth consecutive Wimbledon title.
In the fourth set tie-breaker, which lasted 20 minutes, McEnroe saved five match points and eventually won 18-16. He was unable to break Borg's serve in the fifth set and the Swede went on to win 8-6.
Here's the beginning of the 4th Set Tie-Break
