The legendary Bjorn Borg was one of the finest tennis players ever to play on the court. He had a prosperous career and a tragic one as well. Borg embraced the game at an early age with massive motivation from his father, Rune Borg, who gifted his Golden racket to Borg to prepare him for what lay ahead. He was forced to retire relatively early and even attempted a short-lived comeback. But his final moment was not as sweet as his start. This video uncovers Borg’s glorious moments in tennis, his sudden retirement, and why he attempted a comeback.

His story isn't sad. He had tremendous success in his lifetime and was absolutely ridiculously handsome when he was younger. He is not broke, as the video suggests. Yeah, he had a lot of ups and downs, but so do most people. I wouldn't exactly have a telethon for Bjorn.

Sad for his fans

@abradfordajb 3 месяца назад

I think it's exactly what he said .... he lost the drive for winning, which for all players, and especially for him, was the single biggest motivation to continue on the tour. There's no doubt that losing to McEnroe two times in succession in '81 definitely took the wind out of his sails. However, he commented years later that he was growing weary of the tour, which is basically 24/7 and does not afford a player any real life outside of tennis. Personally, i think it's amazing that anyone can drum up the inspiration to live that regimented a life for years and years. We tend to put the top players on a pedestal, but it takes unfathomable effort for any player to live that life in and out, year after year. He was wonderful to have in the sport for time we all had him. That should be Bjorn's legacy for the sport.

My idol as well, and the reason I started to play (and continue to do so😊). Was lucky enough to meet him in the mid-2000s, when he came to London's Selfridges to relaunch his clothes range, and got him to sign the huge poster I'd had of him since 1980. He was very pleasant and charming, a class act in every way.

@matswingmo4303 2 месяца назад

The amazing thing with Borg was that he was not a natural volley player. If you look at his games he seldom put away his volley immediately but had to repeat the volleys in order to score. Compare with another Swedish player Stefan Edberg who was a natural volley player and could finish off his opponent quickly. Winning Wimbledon five times with that disadvantage is nothing else but stunning. On clay court I would say he was almost unbeatable. His physique was of course out of this world and he had an endurance like few others. Sweden produced a number of great tennis players during some years but Borg stands out like a shining star. I guess he was fed up of tennis and had nothing more to prove, well maybe to win the US open that he never won despite being in several finals.

@jerseyneil1 3 месяца назад

Many reasons. Great player at the age of 16, spoiled by lots of money and fame at an early age. He used to spend 8 hrs. a day practicing, special diets, training, traveling tournament after tournament, failed marriage, etc. Partying with Vitas Gerulaitis at Studio 54 and cocaine did not help. Not surprising that he burned out by age 28 and wanted to do something else with his life.

Bjorn Borg was my idol in the 70's he's the reason l took up Tennis he was a Genius 🎾🎾

@eddieingalls534 3 месяца назад

I think his success was down to a very intensive, exhausting practice regime. Borg knew how much he worked to get to the top. But with McEnroe getting his number on fast surfaces, Lendl being a threat on slow and racket technology about to change the game, he simply could not be bothered to go through all that hard work and re-setting of his game again. I did feel he could have stayed a force on clay for quite a while but maybe his ego could not handle being world number 3 or so, due to McEnroe becoming unbeatable on the faster surfaces. He threw in the towel, too much hard work and to be fair, too much to put his body through again.

@xav9258 3 месяца назад

I don't think Lendl was much of a threat to Borg back then, being that he didn't win his first slam until 1984. And even then, McEnroe should never have lost that French Open final - he was 2-0 up in sets. Also, in respect of McEnroe being unbeatable, it's easy to forget that he didn't win a slam in 1982, and only Wimbledon in 1983 (albeit that the players back then didn't go to the Australian Open most of the time). It's one of the biggest 'ifs' in sport, how many more slams might Borg have won. But, of course, even if he had played on, it would have been none if he didn't have the total desire and commitment...

@henrywilliamhoward1874 5 дней назад

My dad remembers seeing him in Wimbledon. My dan and my aunt had privilege pass at ground level with press my aunt had obtained from friends in American channels because that year there was a baseball strike and they were instead covering Wimbledon. In that same Wimbledon, earlier from the stands, my dad unfortunately had booed McEnroe softly as he entered one of his games, and he regretted that because The Times published in an article "some unsportsman like behaviour from the audience" and felt guilty about that. Back then there was no crowd and you could hear anyone in the audience swallow. At that time he did not like McEnroe because he loved Borg but now so many decades later he likes them both very much. So what I wanted to say is that when Borg entered the court at ground level, my dad's sister melted and my father remembered how odd he looked, his back was humped and he was such a good looking figure like a sporting machine.

Bjorn Borg was a great tennis player in his youth. It's hard coming back to being in form and in top shape, after being away from the sport for a long period of time. You get other younger talented players to compete with. You have to have the drive and motivation to come back. I don't really know. If you have injuries, it's hard coming back and trying to win tournaments.🤷

He lost in the semifinals to Raul Ramirez from Mexico, who, to everyone's surprise, came to the net against him. Guillermo Villas beat Ramirez in the final.

It was a mental thing, regardless of losing to McEnroe, whose fans like to chirp that he quit because John beat him. Fact is he was burnt out before that. His focus and intensity wandered, and he was surprised by it. His reason makes perfect sense. If you don't or can't give 100% to every second on court, then don't play. Players like McEnroe were too good to allow him to get away with anything less than 100%. The mental slip was too much for him to psychologically overcome. If his attitude was different about competing, he probably would've won 5-6 more majors. After all, Mac finished his run shorty after. Borg had more winning majors in him. But, for him, that was never a consideration.

When Roger Federer failed to beat Bjorn Borg's 5 in a row Wimbledon record by losing to Rafa Nadal in the 2008 final, he probably realised that the worst thing that could happen to him was to lose his number 1 spot and drop down to 3rd in the world rankings. Even when that did happen Federer was able to regroup, come back and win another 3 Wimbledon titles - not to mention a further 5 Grand Slam titles. I think if Bjorn Borg was more accepting of his position and was able to regain motivation, he could have done exactly the same or similar as you don't become a has been at tennis at 26 years of age. Also remember when Federer lost to Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon final, he was the same age as Borg when he retired from tennis.

@ianraper4304 2 месяца назад

The video wrongly infers that his opponent in the 1976 Wimbledon final was Guillermo Vilas. It was Ilie Nastase and Borg won in straight sets. Furthermore, in the late 70s Borg had made a trip to Australia to compete in the Australian Open but had lost in an early round then decided to go surfing - some irreverent press releases inferred that Borg had 'deliberately' lost his match so that he could go surfing. Borg was not appreciative of the comment(s). He said he would return if and when he won the US Open. Well, he never won the US Open but did return to Australia for a series of matches in the early 80s - after the epic 1980/1 finals - and defeated McEnroe several times in this series. As McEnroe said at the time - 'playing him is getting to be not fun anymore'. Borg is and remains a true champion of the sport. Why he retired at what was (and is) a relatively young age - he had lost the will and motivation to win in the game.

He never got used to the new rackets, which his competitors had had since berth and that's the reason as to why he could not compete with the upcoming generation in his attempt to come back.

Random video. Talking about Connors, showing Lendl etc. He wasn't sad - he had an awesome career.

Retired a self-made multimillionaire in his 20s at the championship level as a fit and incredibly handsome dude. Yeah, real sad story

I do wish people who do the vlogs would stop and think…..sad in the title of it NEVER he lost his mojo nothing more nothing less. He was brilliant in his hay day but the higher you rise the sharper the knifes, so the clothing empire he started failed ( it’s better to attempt and fail then fail to attempt). In my eyes he is the cream of the crop along with McEnroe , Connor’s, and there friendship stands for respect.

I don't think Borg could play the game unless he dominated. After the loss to McEnroe in 81 he knew it was a changing of the guard. I will always remember that 80 final for its gripping intensity.
