Men's singles Champion John McEnroe Runner-up Björn Borg Score 4–6, 7–6(7–1) , 7–6(7–4) , 6–4 Draw 128 (16 / 8 ) Seeds 16
1981 tennis event results
John McEnroe defeated five-time defending champion Björn Borg in a rematch of the previous year's final, 4–6, 7–6(7–1) , 7–6(7–4) , 6–4, to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1981 Wimbledon Championships. It was his first Wimbledon singles title and third major singles title overall. Borg was attempting to equal William Renshaw 's record of six consecutive Wimbledon titles and Roy Emerson 's all-time record of 12 major titles.[1]
During this tournament, McEnroe famously shouted "You cannot be serious!" to the chair umpire in response to a serve being called "out". The disagreement took place on 22 June, during his first round match against Tom Gullikson .[2]
