EXCLUSIVE! Björn Borg hopes Roger Federer can break his record of five consecutive Wimbledon titles when he competes at the All England Tennis Club this summer.

Borg triumphed in the leafy South West London suburb from 1976 to 1980 and Swiss ace Federer will go one better if he makes it six in a row in July.

"We have won five straight Wimbledon titles each so if he took a sixth victory it would feel great," the Swedish legend told eurosport.se.

"I will come and see him play in London. I am happy for Roger's success, in London or anywhere else. He's a great guy and a fantastic player."

Borg explained he is pleased to see Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic and three-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal contesting for Grand Slams and pushing Federer for the world number one ranking.

"Federer is definitely one of [the greatest of all time]. But I also think that it's good for the sport that there are currently three top players," added Borg.

Borg is entering his last year on the Tour of Champions and after would like to take a more active role in Swedish tennis and help them become the force they once were.

"Up until now it hasn't fitted into my schedule but this sport truly is my passion," Borg said.

"Sweden has produced a great number of good players for many years so we have simply become spoilt. We're now suffering a setback but I don't think it will last for long.

"We need to be patient and give our young talent time to improve and develop at their own speed. The clubs' hard work will pay off in three, four or five years.

"Tennis today is much different than in my day. Today you have to promote the sport and reach out to young kids in the Swedish countryside. To find talent as early as possible is also important of course."

Borg added that he has been heartened by the form of 23-year-old Swede Robin Söderling, whose strong start to the season has seen him reach the quarter-finals in Marseille and successive finals in Rotterdam and Memphis.

"I see a lot of potential in Robin Söderling and I think he could make it to the top 10 in the near future," Borg said.

"I watched the final in Memphis and I think that he is a much better player today than a year ago, so his time off due to injury did him well in that sense. I'm hopeful for the future and I think that he will do well.

"I have to believe that we will see a Swedish Major champion again, but like I said, we need to be patient. It will come."

Though he has no plans to take on an individual coaching role with any players, saying "it's not my thing," Borg does hope to have some involvement on a national level in the near future.

"I definitely want to work for Swedish tennis again," Borg confirmed.

"My schedule has been very busy lately but I would like to give back as much as possible - I just don't know exactly how yet and under which circumstances."

Wimbledon runs from June 23-July 6.
