Eurovision Song Contest 1974

	Welcome: Bjorn Borg´s Fan Club
		Borg's attendance at the parade made the absence of two mavericks Ilie Nastase, twice a runner-up, and the 1974 and 1978 winner Jimmy Connors all the more marked.
		Borg, dubbed the "Ice Man" for his reserved style, and McEnroe, known as "McBrat" for his on-court outbursts, dominated in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		Borg was the top seeded player from 1979 to 1980 and won Wimbledon from 1976 to 1980 before McEnroe snatched the crown from him in 1981.

	Bjorn Borg
		Borg did not make much of an impact at Wimbledon prior to 1976, and many people doubted whether his strong base-line game could be adapted to be successful on Wimbledon's fast-playing grass courts.
		Some speculate that provided Borg's surviving the first week of Wimbledon, when the courts were slick and fast, was key to his triumphing, for by the second week of this tournament the grass courts are so stamped upon that in some ways they approximate clay courts.
		Borg's fifth consecutive Wimbledon title was won in an all-time great final in 1980 against the new up-and-coming star of men's tennis John McEnroe.

	USATODAY.com - Borg still making the shots (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As the front man for the explosion of tennis in the 1970s and early 1980s, Bjorn Borg was iconic and enigmatic, cameras flashing wherever the blond-locked, bowlegged superstar went.
		That Borg, thinking of selling his trophies through the Bonhams auction house, could create a global frenzy despite his self-imposed distance from the game is testament to the spell the semi-reclusive megastar still holds on the sport.
		Borg says he keeps a distant eye on pro tennis and believes the lack of rivalries — such as the one he shared with McEnroe and Jimmy Connors — is one reason the sport has declined in recent decades.

	Bjorn Borg - Reviews on RateItAll (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Borg at his prime was like a machine, just the way he won at Roland Garros for 6 times (4 in a row 1978-79-80-81) especially in the 1978 and 1980 without losing a set and after 2 weeks he won wimbledon 5 times in a row: 1976-1977-1978-1979-1980.
		Borg won-lost against Gerulaitis was 18-0 and Gerulaitis was number 4 in 1977-78-79 top ten in 1980-81 and number 5 in 1982.
		I think Borg was the only player that never lost a match in his carrier when was leading 2 set to zero and many comebacks when he was losing 2 set to zero and best five setter.

		This is Bjorn Borg, the unflappable, immensely gifted, golden-haired Swede who holds 62 singles titles, who never played the Australian Open on a matter of principle, and who lost the US Open final on four occasions.
		Apparently Vijay Amritraj, for reasons best known to him, has instructed the PR gent to tell me that Bjorn Borg will not give exclusive interviews, he will not talk one on one to any pressperson.
		Strange -- when I asked Borg for a chat, he named a time -- and met me at the appointed hour, to the minute, without any fuss.
