Bjorn Borg Bibliography.

Björn Rune Borg was born 6 June 1956 and is a Swedish former world No. 1 tennis player. Between 1974 and 1981, he became the first man in the Open Era to win 11 Grand Slam singles titles (six at the French Open and five consecutively at Wimbledon), but he never won the US Open despite four finals appearances. He is the first male player to win five Wimbledon titles in the Open Era, as well as the only Swedish tennis player, male or female, to win more than 10 Grand Slams.

He won four consecutive French Open titles (1978–81) and is 6–0 in French Open finals. He is one of two male players, along with Roger Federer, to appear in French Open and Wimbledon finals for four consecutive years (1978–81) and the only man to win both of them in three consecutive years (1978–80). He was the first male player since 1886 to appear in six consecutive Wimbledon finals, a record surpassed by Federer's seven consecutive Wimbledon finals (2003–09).

He is the first male player to appear in the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open finals in the same year three times (1978, 1980–81), a record surpassed by Federer who achieved the same in four consecutive years (2006–09). He won three major titles without dropping a set in the entire tournament.

He also won three year-end championships and 16 Grand Prix Super Series titles. Overall, he set numerous records that still stand. He was the first player to win six French Open singles titles. He was ATP Player of the Year from 1976 to 1980, finished the year as No. 1 player in the world in the ATP rankings in 1979 and 1980 and was ITF World Champion from 1978 to 1980.

He experienced unprecedented stardom and consistent success that helped propel the rising popularity of tennis during the 1970s.

 As a result, the professional tour became more lucrative, and in 1979, he was the first player to earn more than one million dollars in prize money in a single season. He also made millions in endorsements throughout his career.

What was surprising was he retired from the professional tour at the age of 25, through burn out. He was never comfortable with  his fame and celebratory. One of the greatest living tennis players who is still looked back with great fondness.

Jimmy Connors Bibliography

James Scott Connors was born September 2, 1952 and is an American former world No. 1 tennis player. He held the top Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) ranking for a then-record 160 consecutive weeks from 1974 to 1977 and a career total of 268 weeks. By virtue of his long and prolific career, he still holds three prominent Open Era men's singles records: 109 titles, 1,557 matches played, and 1,274 match wins.

His titles include eight major singles titles (a joint Open Era record five US Opens, two Wimbledons, one Australian Open), three year-end championships, and 17 Grand Prix Super Series titles. In 1974, he became the second man in the Open Era to win three major titles in a calendar year, and was not permitted to participate in the fourth, the French Open.

He finished year end number one in the ATP rankings from 1974 to 1978. In 1982, he won both Wimbledon and the US Open and was ATP Player of the Year and ITF World Champion. He retired in 1996 at the age of 43.
