Leo, son of legend Bjorn, beat Elias Ymer in Bastad where he entered with a wild card
It took some time but he finally succeeded. Leo Borg, son of the legendary Bjorn, won his first match in the ATP circuit. The Swedish tennis player, who turned 20 on May 15, beat his compatriot Elias Ymer in two sets 7-6 6-3 on the red clay of Bastad (ATP 250 tournament). He is currently number 437 in the world and has just seen a contemporary like Carlitos Alcaraz conquer the Wimbledon grass, which was his father’s backyard for years. But Leo could come out slowly, despite the fact that at 20 he hasn’t done much in the pros yet.

Bjorn, capable of winning 11 Slams (6 Roland Garros and 5 Wimbledon), saw his son debut in 2020, at the Challenger in Bergamo. Leo has just entered the top 500 in the world, thanks to his success in the ITF in Sharm el-Sheikh. Moreover, after the victory and while he was rejoicing, the young Borg made himself the protagonist of a funny gaffe. By throwing the ball up to cheer he risked hitting some spectators. Not bad for Leo, who has put another important piece in his young career.
