“My heart is part of Laver Cup,” said Borg. “Laver Cup knows that, and I’m not going to miss it, because I’m going to be there, I’m going to be around.”

“I’m just happy that I was captain for seven years,” Borg said, adding that his blue Team Europe jackets have been a hot favorite among his friends and family in Stockholm. “It’s been a great experience.”

“Roger called me and asked, ‘Bjorn, would you be interested in participating in the Laver Cup?'” “Of course, you are unable to say no,” he reflected on the past.

Players expressed their appreciation to Borg for his years of leadership and support on the bench, with Casper Ruud, a neighbor from the Nordic region, leading the way.

“I’ve always given it my all, and this year we will do it again, and hopefully get a win for him,” said the world No. 9 player, who is competing in his fourth Laver Cup and will begin his match against Francisco Cerundolo of Team World on Friday. “It’s sad that it’s his last year, it’s been an honor to play with him,” he said.

I’ve learned to “stay patient,” which is his motto. The way he played tennis was also pretty patient; he waited out his opponents and played side to side, which kind of wore them down. Ruud said, “I’ve learned to “stay patient.”

According to Stefanos Tsitsipas, Borg had developed a friendship with him. According to the Greek superstar, “It is a simple honor to call him my Laver Cup captain because we have gotten along for such a long period of time.”and for him,” said Ruud, who admitted that the movie Borg vs. McEnroe moved him to tears. He also stated that he has watched a great number of matches that featured Borg and other legendary figures in the sport.
