Bjorn Borg's Game Style
Server
Low
Opting for a high first serve percentage (65%), Bjorn Borg could not be regarded as a Server. He made on average 20% fewer aces/service winners than his opponents and did not count on this shot to win a match.
Puncher
Low
Bjorn Borg was much more a Retriever than a Puncher. When the baseline rallies started he made on average fewer unforced errors with the forehand & the backhand than his opponents. Two reasons explained why he was also making more winners/forcing errors than them: his fantastic pass and the fact that he mainly faced Offensive players.
Tempo Player
Low
Playing with topspin on both side, Bjorn Borg could not be regarded as a Tempo player. Tempo Players play close to their baseline, take the ball on the rise and this was not his case.
Offensive Player
Medium
When compared with his opponents, Bjorn Borg was usually far less Offensive than them but he still won 27% of his points at the net (in the Legends average). He could play the serve & volley on fast surface but his favourite way to come to the net was the baseline approach.
