Bjorn Borg was the youngest ever player to achieve 11 Grand Slam victories. Borg won his 11th and final Grand Slam at the French Open of 1981 one day after his 25th birthday. Borg is the only player in Open Era to have logged two winning streaks of at least 40 matches or above. He achieved this twice - first in 1978 (49-match winning streak) and then in 1979-1980 (48-match winning streak).

In his 10-year career, Borg played in 157 Grand Slam matches and won a remarkable 141 of them losing only 14 times in Grand Slams. His win-percentage of 89.81% is the highest among all tennis athletes - male or female across all Eras. Borg who won 6 French Open titles was beaten at Roland Garros only twice in his career - a record that as of 2018 is matched by Rafael Nadal.
