Borg named one of the coolest tennis players

One of the world’s greatest tennis player of all time is now also chosen as one of our globe’s coolest.
American GQ, a million magazine, has appointed Bjorn Borg, 54, the fourth largest among the top 25 legends of the world’s male athlete.

“Of course I am a bit proud, it should be recognized, “said Bjorn. There are no little boys who I have behind me on that list. Ali, Palmer, Jordan and all that they are now called. Were you always like that cool?
“Yes, almost always. I find it hard to show that I get pissed. I have to this day. Where did you hear me swearing and shouting and screaming?.Right. Do I have never heard a curse word fell out of Bjorn’s mouth, when I think about it.
Scared your opponents with your way of being?

- Well, maybe not scared. But many tried to get me off balance. Not least John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Ilie Nastase. But none succeeded. I was simply concentrated. And I was the best when it chugged into itself on the track and at the end of the matches. I liked it when others are stressed, biting of the nails and sweating. Since everyone knew that I was the best when it heated up.

Some tantrums have you been?
-Yes, once. Madison Square Garden in New York in 1980 or -81. Semi-final of the Masters Finals against a great McEnroe. 22 000 in the stands and direct TV. I won the first set with 7-6. 2-2 teabreak in others. I hit a ball that the judge ruled. And?

“I went up to him and asked if he had seen the ball. He had, of course, but “I judge by linjedomaren? Well, I said. Why are you sitting here? I did not scream, I talked with the possible gruff voice.
McEnroe 3-2, the judge said.
I was still standing.

McEnroe 4-2, the judge said.
I stood still for a judge, but said nothing. Madison Square Garden was boiling.
McEnroe 5-2, the judge said It was beaten 7-6 in the second, but I won the third 7-6 and thus the match.
This is probably the closest a fit of anger I have come. Definitely a classic in tennis.

Are there any new Mr. Cool in world tennis?
-Well, I’m looking, but well hard to find someone, laughing Bjorn.
What do you do otherwise right now?
-Drive children to school, play some tennis and slipping as everyone else around in life. This morning I had trouble taking me to the car. It was GLASSY ICE on the road, so you had to almost crawl …
