11 Grand Slam Titles
Bjorn Borg won an unprecedented five consecutive Wimbledon titles– from 1976-1980. The 1980 Wimbledon final between Borg and McEnroe is easily considered the best and most memorable matchup of all time. McEnroe seemed to have victory in hand early on, but the Swede proved once again to have more stamina and tenacity– breaking McEnroe down for the win. Borg was widely considered nearly invincible at the time– his physical conditioning was legendary.
