I'm really surprised there are so few votes for Borg as I loved watching him in his prime. For me it was a toss up between him and Agassi but hopefully Andre is safe without needing me. Conversely I'm also surprised Goran is so popular. With his massive almost unreturnable serve I always found his matches far less entertaining, even though he subsequently became such a huge character in the sport.

Agree SuperT. Glad someone else has voted for him. Used to love watching him beat "bad boy McEnroe".

Yes that's how I felt too. I only really became a "fan" of Johnny Mac when he started commentating.

I think that is the thing - Borg retired very young, although he tried that weird return with the wooden racquet in Monte Carlo or wherever it was (didnt he play and get thrashed by Leconte?) and then sort of disappeared from public view, apart from a few things like his underwear range and having some issues with a suspected over dose etc, and a strange marriage. He seems in a decent place now but much more private, whereas McEnroe, Lendl, Connors have all had big public profiles through TV or coaching appointments and also through playing the Masters/Seniors tour which Borg never did. Dwindling profile equals less votes in things like this I would say!
