#3 Bjorn Borg

Bjorn Borg at the 2018 Laver Cup Presentation

Swedish tennis legend Bjorn Borg was the epitome of composure and poise on and off the court. The affable Swede captivated the tennis world in the 1970's and 1980's with his style and talent. His rivalry with fellow tennis legend from the same Era - John McEnroe is the stuff of legends. The first player in the Open Era to earn more than one million dollars in prize money in a single season, Borg's ascendancy to the top of the tennis charts came while he was still in his teenage.

Borg won 6 French Open titles and 5 consecutive Wimbledon Championships - a record he shares with Roger Federer. Borg's Grand Slam win percentage of 89.81% is the highest among all players - active or retired and his 5-set record in Grand Slams is unmatched at 24-3. Borg won the 1974 French Open at the age of just 18 years and 10 days.
