After being eliminated in the first round four years in a row in the tennis tournament in Stockholm, Leo Borg was able to win for the first time. He beat Sebastian Ofner, Austria, with 2–0 in sets (6–3, 6–4).
The 622-ranked Swede met a 140-ranked Austrian. Borg managed to break Ofner's serve to 5–3 in the first set and then served home the set. In the second, he broke to 5–4 – and then served home the set and the match.
The goal was to play very aggressively and dare to play out, because that's when I play best. And I think I really did that today, he says to SVT.
The opponent served well, but Borg, son of tennis legend Björn Borg, says he tried to stress Ofner in his serve game.
And when it became play, I felt that I was in a superior position, it was very fun.
