My perseverance is my strongest suit. Eleven Grand Slam titles and five Wimbledon titles were won by Bjorn Borg. It had been forty years since his last All England Club championship.
Bjorn Rune Borg, the Swedish tennis legend, revolutionized and elevated tennis to a new plane. His powerful stroke play from the baseline transformed the game, making him a global celebrity and icon.
Borg was the only child of Rune and Margaretha Borg, and was born on June 6, 1956, in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
He is considered as one of the best players and professionals to have ever graced the sporting world by both onlookers and fellow tennis players.
Between 1974 and 1981, he won 11 Grand Slam singles titles in total. He won five Wimbledon titles and six at the French Open, all with his vintage wooden Donnay racket!
