I also have him at No.1 but it is closer with Borg 1980 than one would think. Both won two out of three slams and loosing a tough five setter final at the third. Both won YEC with Borg going 5-0 against Mac,Connors and Lendl on carpet that season. Carpet was Macs best surface and Borg beat him twice. Mac in 84 or any other season never had to go through Borg on clay. Sure Macs win-loss record in 84 is unbelievable but I would rate Borgs channel slam under polarized conditions higher than a Wimbledon-US Open double.
I don't see how Borg 1980 was better than his 1979 season, but quite a few here do. He was 70-6 in 1980 but 84-6 in 1979, and won 13 titles in 1979 to 9 in 1980. I can't see either season really touching Mac's 1984 pure massacre of the field though, with an 82-3 record and 13 titles, with 8 of them being in the higher tier.
