Tennis legend Björn Borg, 69, made a rare appearance at Wimbledon Thursday to take in Iga Swiatek's match against Clara Tauson. The Swedish tennis ace is a five-time Wimbledon champion, having won the men’s singles title five consecutive times from 1976 to 1980.
A teen tennis sensation in the 1970s, Borg won 66 singles titles during his career and is largely credited with helping propel tennis’ rise in popularity during that era. His rivalries with John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors are the stuff of legends, becoming cultural milestones that defined the 1970s and early ’80s. Borg unexpectedly retired from tennis at the age of 25, though he staged a brief comeback in 1991 at the age of 34.
