  I completely understand Borg here, the same happened to me in another sport & I wasn't at the highest level Borg was. He was an amazing player, a joy to watch.

  Bjorn Borg still a total legend 👏, &nbsp;the first human being to win five Wimbledon Singles titles in a row - 1976 to 1980 !<br>With no real sports phycology back up around in the1970s , he remained on the surface calm and collected during matches.<br>With his trusty Donnay racket , a fantastic base line player with the ability to move to the net and attack .<br>If he was twenty something now he would wipe the board with players around ,his shear brilliance, fitness and ability to be calm on the court .<br>The modern tennis racket and materials used , as in alot of sports now, including running shoes , have actually taken o ver from the basic sporting prowess/skills that an individual has in any given sport.<br>Borg&apos;s individual talent and ability is legendary, &nbsp;he will always be the very best in my humble eyes.<br>Blooming fantastic. <br>Thanks Bjorn for FAB memories in the great 1970&apos;s

  Intellectual Tennis GOAT. I was a very good tennis player at the highest level of Junior tennis and when I won I felt relieved and when I lost I was bereft

  Tennis was so much bigger back then because you didnt have social media, internet or even that many channels on the TV at all

  Bjorn did the right thing, even though it was a price to pay. &nbsp;Bjorn was the best, and so as many tennis players tried to emulate him, myself included in the 70’s-80’S. &nbsp;No chance for me, although I enjoyed trying then.

  He left a lot of money on the table by exiting the game when he did. But, he avoided a host of problems associated with the situation and sport. Hopefully he invested his earnings well.

  Didn&apos;t his first of three wives deplete him: Mariana Simionescu? Married 1980-1984, which coincides with his tennis demise.

  Thanks, &nbsp;I think this whole modern circus got it&apos;s inspiration from your technique and game, they just don&apos;t know it anymore
