Does anyone know the answer to two questions?

[tcuk]

1. What was Borg's career win/loss record on clay?

2. Why did Borg not play the French Open in 1977? Was it due to injury or team tennis?

I need the answer for an article I'm writing. Any help will be much appreciated, but only answer if your dead certain of the truth.

Don't know what happened in 77. In 76, he lost to Panatta in quarters.

Thanks for the ATP resource! I know he lost to Panatta in '76.

'77 is as yet a mystery. I think he may have been contracted to play Team Tennis but can't be sure. Shame if that was the case because he would probably have won that year.

If anyone can answer for sure, please let me know.

Go to WTT site and look at download of media guide. Borg was Rookie of the Year for WTT in 1977

Thanks for the WTT link too. I've emailed them and they are getting back to me with the information I want.

Re. The clay court stats: Over a five year period 76 to 81 Borg supposedly only lost 3 matches on clay (out of around 100 matches). And one of those he was a set and 4-1 up against Elliot Telcher where rtd. injured. Still have to back these clay court stats up, but they are looking like the truth so far.

For those interested, Borg had to skip the 1977 French Open because he was contracted to play WTT. Shame, that would have been another Roland Garos title under his belt!
