Default Son of Borg

For you Borg fans, here is an interesting story on his son who is playing tennis here in WI:

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=581279

One of the guys I play tennis with has a son who is also on that team. He said Robin Borg is a really nice kid. I know guys at our club were amazed when we first heard the story. We were wondering if he is using a Donnay? I also saw a local TV story on him recently and he hit the ball really hard.

Personally, I am going to see if he wants to play 4.0 USTA for us!

just read the article today. Interesting to see he didn't do the D1 schools back in 04. Sounds like a nice guy-good for him.

Wow - he is quite fat for a 21 yr old! And why is he a freshman at 21?

Read the article for your second question. It's right in there.

Sounds like a solid, well-grounded young man. Good job, Bjorn!

So he's got, say, 50% of his dad's tennis ability. I hope he's not got the same proportion of his dad's business acumen

That is why he enrolled in college. I doubt many of us would be that sharp if we dropped out of school after the 8th grade
. It is as easy to lose big money trying to make more as it it hard to make big money in the first place, the old saying goes.
