Blogging from A to Z Challenge 2022: B is for Bjorn Borg

 Bjorn Borg was a tennis great from the 70's and 80's who won six French Open Titles and five Wimbledon Titles. Interestingly he never won a U.S. Open Title. 

                                             Highlights from a 1978 US Open


The 1980 tie break with John McEnroe


His rivalry was intense with John, and McEnroe tried to talk Borg out of retiring at the age of 26. Borg would make an unsuccessful come back in the 90s.

 The challenge has started and so far we have a boxer and a tennis player as we explore the real Wide World of Sports!
