1980: The five-set final between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe was the pinnacle of their rivalry—and the Woodstock of their tennis era

"He loves tennis,” the legendary Bjorn Borg told *Le Parisien*. “He wants to play all the time. He plays for one of the best clubs in Sweden, with very good coaches–a big team. I don't involve myself too much."

Bjorn said that he does not coach Leo. Borg's older son, Robin, played college tennis. Leo, who is still in school, occasionally plays juniors events in Europe.

"We sometimes play together," Borg added, “because we have a court at home. If he asks me for advice, of course I respond."

Several top players—such as Rafael Nadal, Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga—played at the event in juniors competition.
