Leo, son of ATP legend Bjorn Borg, has only appeared four times on the ATP Tour so far in his career. His best result has been a second-round appearance a year ago in Bastad.
Rafa and 21-year-old Leo trained together on Friday.
It was a very good practice and of course he’s been my idol since I was very young, so it’s going to be a very special moment in my career. But I’m looking forward to that and I’m feeling really, really excited.
Leo Borg
Rafa has competed in Bastad on three previous occasions, most recently in 2005, when he lifted the trophy.
GOOD LUCK & VAMOS RAFA!
