Performance and Video
ESPN called it "the most riveting episode in the sport's history." The Tie-break is a reenactment of the legendary fourth set tie-break from the 1980 Wimbledon Finals between Björn Borg and John McEnroe as performed by the artists Tibi Tibi Neuspiel and Geoffrey Pugen.
The Tie-Break: Promo is a fictional behind-the-scenes recreation of the iconic 1980 Wimbledon Finals, blending speculative sports media with archival appropriation. The video merges Super 8, VHS, and found BBC and Wimbledon footage with staged training sequences, fictional commercials, and fabricated documentary moments.
