Borg, who received the nickname, the “Ice Man” or “Ice-Borg” because of his cool demeanor on the court, is one of the greatest athletes of all time.
The tennis star Bjorn Borg has the nickname ‘Ice-Borg’ or ‘Ice Man’. His calm court demeanor earned him this nickname.
He is a Swedish former world No. 1 tennis player. Between 1974 and 1981, he became the first man in the Open Era to win 11 Grand Slam singles titles with six at the French Open and five consecutively at Wimbledon.
He was the first man since 1886 to contest six consecutive Wimbledon finals, a record surpassed by Roger Federer’s seven consecutive finals (2003–09). He is the only man to achieve the Channel Slam three times. Borg contested the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open finals in the same year three times (1978, 1980–81). He won three major titles without dropping a set during those tournaments. However, he never won the US Open despite four runner-up finishes.
