What makes Borg stand out from the rest is the relative ease with which he could adapt his game to play seamlessly in the clay courts of Paris and the lawns of Wimbledon.

Between 1976 to 1980, Borg won all 5 Wimbledon Championships making him the first man in the Open Era to win 5 consecutive Wimbledon Championships - a feat that was later matched by Roger Federer in 2007. Borg is the only first-time winner of Wimbledon to have won the tournament without dropping a single set. He achieved this remarkable feat in 1976.

In his career, Borg played 55 matches at the hallowed courts of Wimbledon winning 51 of them giving him an all-time high win-percentage of 92.73%. His record of 41 consecutive wins at Wimbledon hasn't been matched by anyone.
