On the list of Open Era winning streaks, Borg is both first (49 tour matches won in 1978) and fifth (40 in 1979–80). The only other men with winning streaks of 40+ matches are Guillermo Vilas (46), Ivan Lendl (44), and McEnroe (42).

'I think Björn's greatest victory was not the way he came to master his ground strokes, but the change he underwent, with terrible determination, to tame his passionate spirit.' Lennart Bergelin, Borg's coach

i see no reason to explain why bb did not won us open: sampras , mc and connors were not great on clay-they never won the french; some other on quick surfaces; but bjorn was great on all surfaces:malediction? here is name of men who defeated bjorn at us open
mac again, and death threats
incredible umpire error at 3/3 in the fith of the final(photo 52)
tanner and night session in q/f ...
psychological and physical problems in final:particularly:injury(finger)
tragedy at forest hills :who can beat him without pectoral problem(sure not stockton, probably not vilas and connors); injury during one training with billy martin
