Top 10 Tennis Players in the Open Era: Men’s Singles

#7 – Bjorn Borg

Bjorn Borg earned an impressive 11 Grand Slam singles titles.

The Swedish tennis superstar is a former world No. 1. The majority of Borg’s major tournament titles came at Roland Garros where he won 6.

Borg’s career might be the most interesting narrative in the sport of tennis. His success came early in life and the stardom forced the Swedish tennis star to step away from the sport of the age of 26. He attempted a brief but unsuccessful comeback. One can only imagine what records Borg would have shattered if he continued his unparalleled play that dominated the 1970s in tennis.
