Björn Borg Björn Borg was a pioneer of modern tennis, combining relentless baseline play, mental calm, and physical endurance before the fitness era. He won 11 Grand Slam titles, including five consecutive Wimbledon championships (1976–1980) and six French Open titles. Borg’s rivalry with John McEnroe in the late 1970s and early 1980s produced some of the most iconic matches in tennis history, notably the 1980 Wimbledon final. Known for his cool demeanor and heavy topspin forehand, he popularized long shorts and headbands, influencing tennis fashion. Borg retired at just 26, leaving behind a legacy of mystique and dominance. He later made a brief comeback but never regained his peak form. Borg’s impact on European tennis and his role in the sport’s commercial growth remain significant.
