Regarding your ridiculous hard court argument, here's how he did in his 9 year career, one year of which was lost to injury: 1. Lost to Pilic in 4th Round (17 y.o.). 2. Lost to Amritraj in 2nd Round (18 y.o.). 3. Lost to defending champ Connors in Semi finals (19 y.o.). 4. Lost to Connors in the finals (20 y.o.). 5. Shoulder Injury, retired in 4th round (21 y.o.) 6. Lost to Connors in the finals (22 y.o), dominated Gerulaitas in the semis 6/3, 6/2, 7/6. 7. Lost to Roscoe Tanner in Quarters - his only bad loss. 8. Lost to McEnroe in the finals. 9. Lost to McEnroe in the finals. In the last 5 he entered and completed (excluding the injury withdrawal) he went to the finals 4 times, losing to Connors twice and Mc twice. He only played Gerilitus once, and dominated him. He got beat by Tanner once, then beat him each of the next two years on his way to the finals. Fact is, he caught Mc in the heart of his prime and Connors at the beginning of his prime, both of whom are among the best hard court players of all time, and both of whom had played on that surface most of their lives. For people who know tennis, Borg played on another level. If Borg wanted to, he could have focused on hard court and beaten anybody. He quit because he was bored and he was that much better than everybody else. [/QUOTE]
