• Borg and Alcaraz

    From Whisper@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 9 21:03:05 2025
    I was thinking how great it must feel to defend Wimbledon and also
    defend FO titles, as Carlos just achieved. When I looked it up I was
    very surprised Borg is the only guy to ever do it before Carlos. I guess
    not many players defend a FO title, and the few that did never managed
    to also defend a Wimbledon title at any point in their career. Grass and
    clay are opposite surfaces so not easy to master both at the elite level.

    Borg has defended Wimbledon 4 times and FO 4 times, so Carlos has more
    work to do.

    Maybe Borg is a little underrated?

    Hopefully Carlos doesn't burn out by 25 on 11 slams too : )

    Borg is not underrated to those in the know.

    Indeed, I sure hope not!
