Origin
and identity

Bjorn Borg made baseline endurance and heavy topspin central to tennis stardom, pairing exceptional competitive intensity with an outwardly controlled presence.

The Swedish teenager arrived with a two-handed backhand and formidable patience. He then improved his serving and volleying enough to conquer grass without abandoning his baseline strengths.

Six French titles and five consecutive Wimbledon championships reveal mastery of contrasting surfaces. His rivalry with John McEnroe sharpened that contrast, notably in their five-set Wimbledon final of 1980.
