There are some errors in this video. Borg never won the Australian Open. Also, he lost the final at Wimbledon against McEnroe in 4 sets, and the footage is from the year before (1980). Facts are important in this context.

Yes, he only played Australia once and lost in the 3rd round. The Australian Open just wasn't a big deal for players back then.

Good, but a few corrections... the Wimbeldon loss was in 1981, the custody battle was about his first son, Robin

Mac was indeed getting Borg's number on fast courts but no way would Mac have beaten him on clay or slow surfaces. You might be onto something though as Mac rarely got far enough into clay tournaments for Borg to balance the act, so to speak. Had he played on, all we would have seen were losses to Mac as they only tended to meet on faster, Mac friendly surfaces.

Borg only played the Aussie Open once - in 1974. Why? Because the Aussie Open had fallen into irrelevance in those days. Few gave a damn about it in those days. During Borg's career, the AO was played at Kooyong Stadium. Kooyong was a joke. The Kooyong grass courts were horribly maintained and the stadium itself had fallen into disrepair. Jimmy Connors only played the AO 2 times (1974 & 1975). McEnroe didn't play the AO until 1988 when the event was finally moved from pathetic Kooyong to the wonderful site its played at to this day (Melbourne Park). Look at who won the AO in the mid-to-late 1970s and early 1980s: Mark Edmonson, Brian Teacher, Roscoe Tanner, Johan Kriek... Not exactly Hall of Famers. Edmonson was actually working as a janitor in Australia when he entered and won the AO.

The AO had nowhere the prestige back then that it has now. Few of the top players were willing to travel so far down under. Flinders Park did not even exist then. Kooyang was little more than a cow pasture. That's why Borg didn't win there. Plain and simple, he didn't go. It would be different if he competed and lost each year. Learn your tennis history

I switched off after 22 seconds, when you mentioned "Borg WAS a living legend". Actually, I can't stand these amateur videos, accompanied by non fact checked statements and I wish, KZbin would just ban them. Go and tell your gossip to your children, or some drunk at the local bar, because you have zero idea, why Borg retired and are just after money from KZbin. Disliked and moved on
