2 BJORN BORG

The best tribute to the Swede is surely the fact he won Wimbledon five times in a row despite being mainly known for his baseline brilliance.


ICE-BORG ... Borg kept cool as he
dominated Wimbledon, 1976-1980

Ice-cool Borg captured 11 Grand Slams, including a record six French Opens, on his way to 62 titles.

His heavy-topspin groundshots, including the famous two-handed backhand, outgunned or wore down all types of opponent.

And, as his Wimbledon odyssey went on, he developed enough of an all-court game to reign until John McEnroe beat him in an epic 1981 final.
