LONDON - Bjorn Borg will be rooting for Roger Federer to level his record of five successive Wimbledon titles.
The Swede won five in a row at the All England Club from 1976-1980 and Federer, already with four under his belt, is the overwhelming favourite to equal the mark and eventually better Pete Sampras's all-time best of seven.
"I think and hope that Roger will equal my record this year - it could not happen to a better person," said Borg.
"He has achieved so many great things in tennis."
