Bjorn Borg is widely regarded as one of the best tennis players to have graced the game, and is well and truly a legend. The Swedish star won 11 Majors and reached No. 1 in the world, but surprisingly retired from tennis aged 25. It was considered ‘young’ for retirement in his prime, and would be even more shocking in today’s game. Novak Djokovic is still going strong, aged 39. Roger Federer retired when he was 41, and Rafael Nadal said farewell at the age of 38.

While Borg never had the opportunity to play against any of the Big Three, he was able to coach them multiple times during his time as Team Europe captain at the Laver Cup. The Swede held the role for seven years, and in that time, Federer represented Europe four times, Nadal played three times, and Djokovic twice was part of the squad.

While hailing Djokovic’s level last year, Borg also shared his wish to see the Serbian superstar continue his career. “It's amazing how he can play that kind of tennis, 38 years old. I'm very impressed,” he said.

“I know he wants to win that 25th Grand Slam tournament. I hope he's going to play one more year, at least next year too, because the tennis he's playing. It's going to be tough with [Jannik] Sinner and [Carlos] Alcaraz and some other players too, but still, he can do it.”
