Isn't this great?
The BBC screened a documentary tracing the history of the men's championship from Borg, who revealed that he had telephoned Federer in 2001 after he ousted Sampras, when the American was attempting to emulate Borg's five consecutive titles. Who would have thought that seven years later it is Federer who might go one better and win six?
"I said 'thanks for beating Sampras because now he cannot beat my record', and Roger said 'oh, no problem', " Borg recalled. "And now he's equalled my record at Wimbledon and it couldn't happen to
a nicer guy than Roger, but it's pretty funny. I thanked him. And now he might break the record. Who knows?"
