He was a tall Swede who spoke less and, most importantly, remained unperturbed when surrounded by trouble. Borg on his knees after winning his fifth straight Wimbledon — now a movie, Borg vs McEnroe — resembled Christ, even in those ’80s micro tennis shorts. At the 1990 Australian Open, he ranted at a middle-aged lineswoman while standing just a racket swing away from her. Borg would question a line call with a polite inquiry: “Are you sure?”, McEnroe would start with “You can’t be serious?”. Courtesy: W & N Bjorn Borg (left) with John McEnroe.
