#4 Best 5-set record of all-time
Apart from having a supreme mental toughness and a technically sound game, Bjorn Borg possesses very good physical strength. So much was the confidence that the Swedish Tennis Federation had in him that they drafted him to play in the Davis Cup when he was just 15 years of age in 1972.
Borg made history by becoming the youngest ever winner of a Davis Cup Singles rubber. Borg with his solid baseline game and tireless strength was a nightmare for every opposition player. He, in fact, holds the all-time record for bageling (6-0) his opponents the most number of times at 131.
Borg's 5-set record was simply exemplary, to say the least. He won 24 of the 27 5-set matches that he was involved in throughout his career notching up a win-rate of 88.9%. In fact, in the 1980 Wimbledon final against John McEnroe, Borg won 19 consecutive points on serve in the fifth set - another Open Era record.
