Anybody else think Bjorn Borg is kind of an ass?
I mean, the guy privately thanked Nadal for taking down Fed at Wimbledon to preserve his record and privately texted Soderling when he beat Rafa. What a dick, this guy obviously dwells too much on his past knowing his legacy overshadowed be recent greats like Sampras, Agassi, Fed, Nadal etc. I'm not saying I don't respect him, I actually have great admiration for him, just seems kinda rude.
Records ARE meant to be broken.
That seems a little harsh. I don't think he is an ambassador for the sport like Agassi, McEnroe, or even Federer, but remember this... Borg was so dominant in his era that he retired with plenty of gas in the tank. He either got bored or he saw the changing course of the game and realized that his touch and grace and skill was going to get clobbered by the new generation of technology and it's up and coming stars such as Ivan Lendl.
Bjorn left competitive tennis so long ago and his personal life has been full or financial mistakes and pitfalls. His records, his legacy, that is all he has left. It is sad but I try to remember him how he was on the court and not how he acts away from it.
