I had no focus” – Bjorn Borg reflects on early retirement, teases new information in upcoming book
Bjorn Borg announced his retirement at the age of 26 before he made multiple unsuccessful returns to the game. In a recent interview, Bjorg revealed that he did not possess the motivation and focus to continue.

Borg was among the best players on the tour in the 1970s. He won his first Grand Slam title, the French Open, in 1974, at the age of 18. He went on to win five more titles in Paris and five titles at Wimbledon to complete his haul of 11 Grand Slam titles.

At the US Open, however, Borg does not have the fondest memories. He reached the final four times but could not conquer the New York Slam. In 1981, John McEnroe defeated Borg in the US Open final 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3. The Swede left the court soon after the loss without participating in the presentation and media duties.
