• In 1979, Borg became the first tennis player to earn more than one million dollars in prize money in a single season.

• Borg retired in 1983 with $3.6 million in career prize money, a record at the time.
• According to the match scores listed on the ATP website, Borg bageled his opponents 131 times in his career, compared to Federer's 79 bagels from 1999 through 2013 Halle.
• Borg was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1987 at 30 years of age.
• In 1999, Borg was elected the best Swedish sportsman ever by a jury in his home country. His tennis rivals included a pair of top ranked players: Mats Wilander and Stefan Edberg.
• In their only career match-up, Borg defeated Wilander in September 1981 in the first round of a tournament in Geneva, Switzerland. The score was 6–1, 6–1. Geneva was the last tournament that Borg won during his career.
• Borg won the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal in 1974 and 1978, the latter being shared with alpine skier Ingemar Stenmark. They are the only men to have won this honor twice.
