Borg’s under-pressure composure and athleticism were very rare for his era. He holds the unique record of winning French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back 3 times. His unique style, which made him equally successful in clay and grass with 6 French and 5 Wimbledon titles (which are polar opposite surfaces), made him unique as a player.

2. Rafael Nadal

Grand Slam Titles: 17

Career Singles Titles: 80

Number of weeks as No. 1: 194

Nadal’s dominance on the clay court is arguably the greatest dominance in any sport ever. He holds the record of winning the French Open 11 times with a stunning win-loss index of 86-2. He still goes to France as the hot favourite year after year.

He has introduced high topspin with his forehand. With his quick speed on the court, he outruns every opponent. He embodies the effort in the tennis court. He is without any doubt among the greatest sportsman of all time.
