The living tennis legend Bjorn Borg suggested that Sweden and India look into opportunities for cooperative tennis promotion.
Borg added that he was content with his choice to end his professional tennis career at the age of 26, saying he had grown tired of the sport at that point.
The 11-time Grand Slam champion and former tennis world no. 1 Borg was in town with his wife Patricia to watch his son Leo Borg compete in the Chennai Open Challenger.
His renowned blond hair, however, has vanished. He has white hair, but he is still trim and lacks excess muscle.
According to Borg, Sweden currently only has one player ranked in the top 100. There used to be multiple Swedish tennis players at the top in the past.
He questioned whether Sweden and India could take any action to encourage the game in their respective nations.
“The concept is just getting started. We need to investigate future possibilities for this,” former Indian player and Tamil Nadu Tennis Association President Vijay Amritraj told IANS.
