    That was probably the highlight of his career, considering he’s an Aussie. And the only time the great Bjorn Borg played in Australia (imagine how many more Grand Slam titles he’d have), in 1974, Dent beat him in the third round. He won the 1975 Oz...

    The New York Times logo The New York Times 2 days ago

    Spearman is not the only one who wonders whether Tanner is a changed man or a “guy who’s blown what should have been a golden life.” Thirty-five years ago, Tanner won the Australian Open. A top player in the 1970s, he also reached the United States...

    McEnroe: I am going to respectfully disagree with you. That 30 to 40 percent energy that I wasted trying to get these guys to do a good job, I could have focused on my opponents such as Ivan Lendl and these other guys. Tolbert: Is it true that when...

    We all know the problem with this approach. A player's total depends on many factors that have nothing to do with drive and talent. Maybe in his era the Australian Open wasn't really considered a major (Bjorn Borg) or was too far away to bother with...

    Your vote has been counted, thank you for voting. We have seen many greats stay too long in the arena: Willie Mays, Joe Namath, Michael Jordan, Gordie Howe. Bjorn Borg made a professional tennis comeback long after his prime, and it was a dismal affair...
