The final was the first Wimbledon match in history that was deliberately scheduled to take place on a Sunday. A number of high-profile players were absent from this tournament for various reasons. This included five-time champion Björn Borg, who refused to play after officials required him to play in a qualifying tournament due to being absent from the tour injured for most of 1982. Ivan Lendl and Eliot Teltscher both withdrew citing difficulty playing on the grass courts; and Argentine players Guillermo Vilas and José Luis Clerc withdrew in protest to their country's conflict with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands.Ornauer Dave Angry Borg to sit out Wimbledon in protest https://www.stripes.com/news/from-the-s-s-archives-angry-borg-to-sit-out-wimbledon-in-protest-1.65337 stripes.com Stars and Stripes 5 December 2017 Tokyo 18 April 1982Radosta John Lendl Finds Grass Is Only for Golfers https://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/24/sports/lendl-finds-grass-is-only-for-golfers.html The New York Times 5 December 2017 Harrison, New York 24 June 1982 Seeds 1 1 USA John McEnroe (final) 2 8 USA Jimmy Connors (champion) 3 6 USA Vitas Gerulaitis (quarterfinals) 4 3 USA Sandy Mayer (third round) 5 2 RSA 1928 Johan Kriek (quarterfinals) 6 7 USA Gene Mayer (quarterfinals) 7 4 SWE Mats Wilander (fourth round) 8 5 AUS Peter McNamara (first round) 9 1 ECU Andrés Gómez (first round) 10 FRA Yannick Noah (withdrew) 11 4 USA Brian Teacher (quarterfinals) 12 5 AUS Mark Edmondson (semifinals) 13 2 USA Brian Gottfried (second round) 14 6 USA Roscoe Tanner (fourth round) 15 3 GBR Buster Mottram (fourth round) 16 7 USA Steve Denton (fourth round) Yannick Noah withdrew due to injury.
