Bjorn Borg Heroes of Roland Garros.A Hero on the clay in Paris and a 6 time champion a record for a male player and one that was achieved by Rafael Nadal in 2011 to tie it with 6 titles a piece.
In those days people didn't count Grand Slams as the only way to measure a great player. For example, most are unaware that Borg couldn't play the French in 1977 because he was contracted to play the Team Tennis circus in the States (and, of course, only played the Australian once as the Masters in New York was the one all the big players played then) All this has been forgotten. For me, Borg is the greatest in the Open era
@demondayzzz well spotted. I can`t argue with that.

Chris Evert won the title 7 times - thus not equal - but ahead of Borg's 6.

I love him, but I also love Rafa... hope they get even number of titles here to keep them both happy!
