Bjorn Borg is a former tennis champion who was the World No. 1 player for the years 1979 and 1980.

Entering the professional ranks as a teenage prodigy, Borg retired early after an unusually brief eight-year career. After his rookie season, he opted to participate in only three grand slam tournaments per year. Despite these limitations, he collected numerous records and 11 Grand Slam singles titles five at Wimbledon and a record six at the French Open leading some to consider him the greatest male tennis player of all time.

In the early-1990s Borg attempted a comeback. However this time around he was not successful.

Borg was ranked the World No. 1 in six different stretches between 1977 and 1981, totaling 109 weeks. During his career, he won a total of 61 top-level singles and 4 doubles titles. Borg was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island in 1987.
