I have been a fan of the game back to the days when Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe on the men's side dominated the tennis scene. Guillermo Villas was still contending with them while the great players of the previous era, John Newcombe, Ken Rosewall, Ilie Nastase, Arthur Ashe were several years removed from the scene.

On the women's side, the rivalry between Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova was at its height. They were winning most Grand Slam championships and electrifying audiences worldwide. Evonne Goolagoong was fading but was still a force to be reckoned with. The greats Margaret Court and Billie Jean King had retired.

I still remember up and coming players trying to carve their names in history, names like Ivan Lendl, Mats Wilander, and Stefan Edberg, the last two following the footsteps of their compatriot, that great Swede, Bjorn Borg.

It was a wonderful time to be a fan. There were those great players and great, great matches. My all-time favorite is Borg. For some, he was the player of the century, for others, he was the charismatic and good looking young man who was the first to bring a sexy touch to the game. His stoic behavior on the court perplexed his followers but that very trait endeared him to a legion of fans. He never argued calls. He simply shook off bad calls and just concentrated on his game. His fifth straight Wimbledon championship win in 1980 over John McEnroe is, for many, the most legendary moment in tennis history. Of all the 62 singles titles and 11 Grand Slams won during his short career, Bjorn Borg is best remembered for winning Wimbledon in 1980 against John McEnroe, in a marathon five-sets final which many regard as the "Match of the Century".

The "Match of the Century" was Borg's 5th straight Wimbledon championship, an all-time exciting final with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 (16-18), 8-6 triumph over John McEnroe. He had made history. No man in the modern era had ever won five French Open singles titles and five consecutive Wimbledon singles title.
