I have to agree --- DVD1 is of poor quality, DVD2 is much better.
Rating: 3This may sound weird and while it is a fantastic match, the picture quality of DVD 1 is quite poor considering it is a 2008 recording, though oddly enough DVD 2 which is the fifth set is of much better quality. I have purchased a lot of matches from Kultur (including the 2007 Final between them) all of which have been high quality, but quite honestly i was dissapointed and surprised by the overall recording quality of this match. I agree with one of the other reviewers, rent this, do not buy it.

A thriller.
Rating: 5Hi
Extremely exciting, really great to see this match again. Even if we know the end result, it's really top entertainment. The only thing I miss, is the interview with Borg,McEnroe and Becker before the match, and it would have been even better if the video was with McEnroe as a commentator.

Its Widescreen but the picture quality sucks.
Rating: 3How do you get a 3 star review with a 5 star game? Just use a standard def picture and get a ton of artifacts when you convert from PAL to NTSC. Great game, pity about the picture.

In-SAN-ity!.
Rating: 5Dude, have you actually looked at this DVD? It's Widescreen; your criticism is unwarranted. If you have a bee in your bonnet about this 1.33 issue, at least make sure it's justified.

The Definition of a Five-Set Thriller!.
Rating: 5In response to another reviewer, these discs are indeed presented in the 16:9 widescreen format, with coverage by the BBC. This was indeed the match that everyone wanted, and tennis' version of Ali & Frazier or Affirmed & Alydar left it all out on the court in this epic match, taking the fans on an incredible ride. Were it not for the rain breaks, the fans would have been drained as well! Many interesting story lines, with Federer going for his sixth straight Wimbledon title, Nadal trying to get his first title, coming off his 3-set victory over Roger at the French Open. You may know the result, but this match is worth repeat viewing.
