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?
Borg is not underrated to those in the know.
Hopefully Carlos doesn't burn out by 25 on 11 slams too : )
Indeed, I sure hope not!
