Only for Swedish players are in men and women’s Top 500 tennis players. One of them is Björn Borg’s son Leo.
Legendary tennis player Björn Borg visited Barcelona this week to receive a tribute at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, a tournament he won 50 years ago -although he left before the tribute, scheduled before the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Ethan Quinn, due to personal reasons-.
Borg, winner of 11 Grand Slams, led a great generation of Swedish tennis players, specially on clay courts, like Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, Joakim Nyström. However, the representation of Sweden in world tennis has dropped dramatically, and it makes Borg « disappointed », as he told in an interview with RTVE.
