Is Mats playing with an aluminum Rossignol, like in his junior days?
That Borg backhand impersonation is uncanny

That's funny stuff, thanks for posting it galain. I take lessons from time to time out there with Coach Kroon. He was a top 40 player, reached the R16 at the French Open and really knows tennis. He's a great guy and I love talking about Bjorn Borg with him from time to time. That club is a really nice indoor club here in Houston right at the top of the Galleria Mall. That is a great impersonation from him!

It amazes me to this day how Borg could hit a backhand looking very similar to that guy's without having its (in)effectiveness.

Loved this! Thanks for posting it.

Good stuff. Kroon needs to be a little taller and a little less chunky.

I thought Coach Kroon was brilliant as Borg - had that backhand and the 'Fila Swagger" down to a tee!

And Captain Haddock - I do suspect it's an old aluminium Rossi. I didn't know Mats used it before switching to composites. He certainly gave it a good look before handing it back.
