Sweden's Leo Borg picked the perfect venue to claim his first ATP Tour match win Tuesday, triumphing on home soil at the Nordea Open in Bastad.
Borg, the 20-year-old son of 11-time Grand Slam winner Bjorn Borg, defeated countryman Elias Ymer 7-6(5), 6-3 after saving two of the three break points he faced.
"I have worked so hard for this for so many years and today was the day I got the result," Borg said. "I'm very happy with my performance today and how mentally strong I was. Elias and I have a good relationship and overall it was good tennis."
[ATP APP]The six-foot right-hander, who did not even have a match win at ATP Challenger Tour level (0-13 career) before this week, will next play Argentine Federico Coria.
The World No. 437 was playing just his third tour-level event and had competed exclusively at the ATP Challenger and ITF Men’s World Tennis Tour level this year before this week.
