My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.

From Bjorn Borg

I play tennis five hours a week, from Monday to Friday, for one hour every day. I like to be fit. If I can't exercise, I feel bad - I need to sweat and run to feel like I'm in good shape.

From Bjorn Borg

If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win.

From Bjorn Borg

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it.

From Bjorn Borg

I wanted to win, even in practice.

From Bjorn Borg

It's not easy to part with the trophies. However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me.

From Bjorn Borg
