A dream come true

07.11.2006 | Tennis

Dear fans,

As you can see I have had the privilege of meeting and playing some tennis with one of the greatest legends of our sport: Björn Borg! I have always been interested in the history of the game and his is certainly a name you come across very often in this regard. So it was a dream come true for me to spend around an hour on the court with Björn.

Upon my stay in Dubai on my way to Shanghai, I saw that a senior exhibition called ‘The legends rock Dubai’ was being held. Björn Borg was there along with John McEnroe, Mansour Bahrami and others. I asked him if he would like to play some tennis with me and it was terrific!

The tournament in Shanghai is moving closer rather rapidly. It’s great to have prepared for the Masters Cup quietly in Dubai. I’m looking forward to this year’s final challenge!

Speak to you soon,

Roger

.....the meeting with Bjorn and some tennis with him... I'm very happy for you, Roger! Borg is a legend of the history of tennis.... sometimes i watch his play on espn classic sport: he has been a big.
But I'm sure that also Bjorn is enthusiastic to have

I know Borg is one of your idols of all time and i agree that he is one of the legends in the game...but so far as you don't pull a Borg yourself :) its all good.

Hi Rog

Happy to hear about your meeting with Borg. I never saw him play, but I gather that he was quite something. BUT no-one can rival our champ Roger! Go, go go Roger!!!
