Mac finally prevailed in a tie-breaker, 6-4, 5-7, 0-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), not the ideal preparation for a final against Borg scheduled to start less than 24 hours later. John McEnroe vs. Bjorn Borg John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg stage one of the greatest U.S. Open finals as the 21-year-old McEnroe fends off a Borg come-back to win his second consecutive title by a 7-6, 6-1, 6-7, 5-7, 6-4 margin.

The final set, in which the defending champion steamrolled following an early service break, took only 30 minutes. Martina Navratilova captured her fourth United States Open singles championship in five years and her second in a row. It was her second Grand Slam tournament title in what has been, by her standards, a subpar year. Steffi Graf vs. Gabriela Sabatini Steffi Graf becomes the third women to complete the Grand Slam, defeating Gabriela Sabatini in the women's final 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

Andre Agassi vs. Michael Stich Andre Agassi won the U.S. Open with pizzaz, daring and audacity, beating a bigger man - Germany's Michael Stich - at his own game: power. The score was 6-1, 7-6 (7-5), 7-5. Agassi, 24, became the first unseeded player to win the crown since Fred Stolle in 1966 and only the third in the 114-year history of the tournament. Steffi Graf vs. Monica Seles Steffi Graf dug down deep to win her fourth U.S. Open title Saturday and halt Monica Seles' inspired comeback run. Graf and Seles, who embraced and kissed across the net, still share the No. 1 ranking even after the German's 7-6 (8-6), 0-6, 6-3 victory. It was Graf's third consecutive Grand Slam. She added the U.S. Open championship to this year's Wimbledon and French Open titles. U.S. Open Tennis Andre Agassi vs. Todd Martin Andre Agassi, fought off a stubborn Todd Martin to win his second U.S. Open men's championship Sunday, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-2.

Marciano came on in the ninth round pinning Archie against the ropes and pounding him with punches every which way. Rocky never stopped; it was like he was taking a sledge to an anvil. Archie slumped in the corner and was counted out. Wednesday, August 30 8 p.m. - SportsCentury: Click & Pick selection 9 p.m. - Wednesday Night College Football 1982 Liberty Bowl Alabama vs. Illinois Alabama defeats Illinois 21-15 in Bear Bryant's final Game.
