Borg to play Stockholm Open

Tennis legend Bjorn Borg’s son Leo has been given a wild card into the Stockholm Open next week.

Borg, 18, has received several wild cards into Challenger events this year but failed to clinch a win.

After a number of player withdrawals from the event, Borg was invited after original wild card entry Emil Ruusuvuori was upgraded to the main draw.

Borg’s last win came at a Futures event in May and he will open in Stockholm against American Tommy Paul in the first round.
