As Wimbledon fever takes over tennis courts up and down the country Legends of Wimbledon – Bjorn Borg offers a unique insight into the life of one of the all-time greats of men’s tennis.

Incredible given how hard it is to find footage of Borg
What a classic of the greatest player to hit the court. Yes, many others were more talented and better skilled, but this man's overall ability to win on grass is something else and his on-court presence remains unparalled to this day. For example, John McEnroe was another great, it was sheer ability which was unbelievable. Compared to these guys, Sampras for all his talent looks so pedestrian on court. Federer is like a far better version of Edberg etc. No one since Borg...as Becker puts it, Tennis owes Borg, players especially.

Borg Wimbledon Life
I've watched this several times as have some of my tennis students. It's great. The interviews are well done & there is a little coverage of all of his Wimbledon years. Each of his finals are covered & the progress is well done & you get a good sense of his developement as a player as he grew up from a talented teen-ager to an amazing mature player.
