The final set was a dramatic affair with Nadal failing to convert four break points in the third and fifth games that would have given him an early lead.

Federer proved too strong in the latter part of the set, breaking Nadal in the sixth and eighth games to close out the match.

Due to this potential Borg returned to the All England Club for the first time in many years to witness the Wimbledon final.
