After Bjorn Borg’s son Leo won his first match, Swedish fans might have been hoping to see a household name make a run on home soil, but the young player lost to Federico Coria in the second round. The defending champion and fellow Argentine, Francisco Cerundolo, will square off against the third-seeded Lorenzo Musetti, who defeated fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldo to advance to the quarterfinals.
Federico Coria defeated Leo Borg to end his run at the Bastad Open, but Lorenzo Musetti, the third seed, and Francisco Cerundolo, the defending champion, advanced to the quarterfinals.
Son of legendary Swedish tennis player Bjorn Borg, wild card Borg defeated fellow Swede Elias Ymer in the first round to record his first Tour-level victory.
In an 86-minute victory, the world No. 113 easily defeated his 20-year-old opponent, breaking four times.
Coria’s next opponent is her fellow countryman and fourth seed Cerundolo, who triumphed over French talent Luca van Assche 6-2 6-3.
The 24-year-old is having a great season and will reach the milestone of 30 Tour-level wins in 2023. He is aiming to defend the first of his two career ATP titles, which he won at Eastbourne this year.
