The blond Swede has always been a maverick, and his stubbornness and ruthlessness have brought him the title of "iceberg". Once brilliant, once angry and depressed, until today, Borg's iceberg still refuses to melt.

1974, Berg, who is about to reach the age of 18, won the French Open men's singles championship, which is also the first grand slam champion in his career. The following year, he successfully defended his title at the French Open. Since then, from 1978 to 198 1, it has won four consecutive championships in this red clay holy land. Participated in the French Open 8 times, won the championship 6 times, with 49 wins and 2 losses. 96. The winning percentage of1%is enough to make him stand out on the clay court. From 1977 to 1979, Berg was invincible in the clay court, and his 44-game winning streak made him an unshakable king of clay in that era.

Like many talented players, at first Berg's favorite sport was not tennis. As a teenager, Berg was crazy about ice hockey. Although he was later forced to give up ice hockey and join in tennis, his experience on the ice hockey field also helped his tennis skills. His signature backhand was developed from ice hockey. In addition, he also received some table tennis training to exercise the flexibility of his wrist; Therefore, in the later tennis match, he can easily play a powerful topspin.

In the clay court, the strong baseline spin ball is one of the most effective offensive ways. Berg likes to stick to the bottom line, and the steady return of the ball makes the opponent exhausted in the long stalemate. This style of play was first successful on the clay court.

But Berg is not satisfied with this. He prefers grass courts to clay courts. "I think I belong to the grass first." He said. 1976, after two weeks of special training on serving the internet, Berg won the Wimbledon championship as he wished, and the whole game was unbeaten. After that, he won Wimbledon five times in a row, 1978, 1979, 1980, and won both French Open and Wimbledon. 198 1 reached the final of Wimbledon, and later lost to mcenroe and won the runner-up.

Five consecutive Wimbledon titles and six consecutive French Open titles, Berg won the 1 1 Grand Slam in two completely different venues. Sampras, another pop star, has made great achievements in Wimbledon, but he has never been able to conquer the clay court of Roland Galos. In this regard, Berg's suggestion is: "I want to tell Sampras that winning on clay is the most difficult. The French Open is the most tiring and difficult grand slam. I want to tell him that it is important to maintain a strong psychological quality. For two whole weeks, you must persist and keep your strength. At the same time, we must reserve enough physical strength. The most important thing is: you must have confidence that you can win on clay. "

Berg and the other two Grand Slams have never had a chance. He reached the final four times at the US Open, but failed to win the championship. In addition, due to personal stubbornness, he made a statement after becoming famous and refused to participate in the Australian Open held at the beginning of the year, on the grounds that he needed to ensure the annual rest time.

Berg, who went his own way, flourished in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but his contradiction with the Tennis Professionals Association became more and more fierce. 1982, because the number of participants in the last year did not meet the minimum requirements of the professional network, Berg was asked to enter the direct election through the qualifying round. This is absolutely unacceptable for a king. Berg stopped the competition in a rage, and then officially announced his retirement at 1983.

Berg later switched to business, but failed. In the late 1980s, he began to get into a series of troubles. It is reported that he once chose to commit suicide and was later saved. He moved several times to avoid taxes and other considerations. However, the recent court decision is still against him: he needs to pay taxes to the authorities according to Swedish tax laws and cannot enjoy the policy of Monaco, a tax haven.

No matter how many people and economic problems there are, Bjorn Borg still occupies an important position in tennis history with his tenacity, concentration and agility on the court. Roland garros's 28-game winning streak in men's singles is still firmly in his own hands.

Bjorn Borg set a precedent for idol players. In the conservative British Isles, many MM who don't know tennis have also entered Wimbledon to cheer for them (winning the French Open and Wimbledon for three consecutive years, and now it is a miracle! But Berg did it, and many forums are also discussing whether he can surpass Sampras (now Federer) to win the Grand Slam title if he doesn't retire at the age of 25. There is no if, but it is normal to have such a result.
