Thumbs up who loves bjorn borg

[@alessandroalessandro6771]

certainly not his wifes

[@chewiebacka4377]

Some would rather have a feisty McEnroe, but I like the calm control of Borg every time. Never let them see you sweat.

Good job they found enough room to fit a Tennis Court on the Airport runway.

True Legend.....Borg... Love from India😍😍

[@drewlaredo7220]

despite the lack of pace, comparatively to today's game, one would have to be pretty damn good to play at this level with those flyswatter size rackets.....

[@hobbikats8744]

drew laredo agreed. Lack of pace but plenty of finesse, different strokes and a certain air of class and style that isn’t found in. Today’s game. Of course the top men’s players of this era ( Connors, McEnroe, Nastase) has many disputes on the court but so many others Borg, Ashe, Wilander, Edberg, etc has nothing but poise and finesse on and off the court. It was a beautiful game to watch and the rivalries unmatched.

[@patmcn]

true. can you imagine today's players having to play with those tennis racquets and the same court conditions? which is why it is so hard to compare athletes from different eras.

[@craigharrison1274]

We should go back to wooden racquets. I enjoy using them. McEnroe is right. They make baseball players use wooden bats.

@Clem Cornpone Her name was Steffi. Come on man. The best of the best. Give Serena a racquet Martina, Chris, Steffi used, no way would she win as often. Plus, she's an entitled piece of work. Arrogant to boot as well.

[@LordStanley94]

@Clem Cornpone Not once did I mention anything of her being black. I'm looking at it strictly from a tennis perspective. Put a wooden racquet to many of these women ( including Serena) than you'll see a true tennis player. It's a one dimensional game. What's your point? Do you personally know Steffi to call her an arrogant bitch? I'm structly talking tennis. You certainly have a huge chip on your shoulder. I congratulate you on your regurgitating the stats. Must have a ton of time on your hands. Never has a woman reacted to an umpire the way Serena has. She has done it numerous times. Now, you'll probably claim McEnroe, Nastase, Connors as no different. I'm talking women. She's a disgrace. And She's phony. Her phony hug to Naomi as if she is consoling her. She was getting her ass kicked. Byt she's a mother. Lets not forget that. Go grab a tissue. Cheers mate.

[@ericdurville6306]

Bjorn BORG : The greatest tennis player of all time. The noise of planes and spectators are not the only problem. At mealtimes, hamburger and fried chicken flavors invade the stands. "When you play, people are leaning on the balustrades, pulling out sandwiches and chips can fall on the court". There are only Americans to play in these conditions.

[@rimetime6423]

lol, that's pretty funny. I'm American and remember , Borg was always my favorite player.

So much better then Connors ever was..... Such a shame he stopped so young.

[@alessandroalessandro6771]

Connors was number 1 in 1974, 75, 76, 77 and 78, much better than Borg ever was. It's not an opinion, it's the ranking

[@normadesmond6017]

@@alessandroalessandro6771 sure. just keep on telling yourself that. Borg won Wimbledon 1976-1980. 5 times in a row. He won Roland Gaross 1976-1981. Wich player do people remember when they think about those times? Certainly not Connors. It was Borg who was the superstar in that time and age.

[@kikaa1884]

@@normadesmond6017 hmmmmmmm for real... who the hell is Connors? i know Bjorn, lendl and mcEnroe. but who the hell is Connors who was number 1 of the ranking???

[@karmicselling4252]

Both Borg and Connors were great players during their eras. People forget that Connors got closer to achieving the Grand Slam and Career Grand Slam than Borg did. Connors is also the only male player to win the US Open on three different surfaces. Borg made several US Open Finals but never won the title. The 1970s was a great period for Tennis. So many wonderful male and female players who have become legends of the sport.

[@artlover1477]

Flushin toilets, oops Flushin Meadows. If the open would have stayed at Forest Hills, Borg would have had at least one open championship.

This may be the final where Borg had a horrendous blister on his rt.finger which obviously affected his play. Borg pretty much owned Conners in head to head where it counted.Awesome competitive drive.

He got a let for losing the racquet?

No. Connors returned the serve and Borg lost the point.
