Bjorn Borg’s son Leo, Borg, has secured his first ATP Tour match on clay at the Swedish Open, defeating Elias Ymer in straight sets.
Borg, 20, received a wildcard entry and defeated Swedish compatriot Ymer 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 at the Bastad Tennis Stadium.
Borg, who is ranked 437th, primarily competes on the ITF Tour, the lowest level of men’s professional tennis.
“I’ve worked so hard for this, so many years, and some days you get results and today I got a win,” he said.
Borg is set to compete against Argentina’s Federico Coria in the tournament‘s last-16 stage.
Renowned as one of tennis’ all-time greats, he secured 11 Grand Slam titles during the 1970s and early 1980s, including an impressive five consecutive Wimbledon victories, before retiring at the young age of 26.
