As the Swedish newspaper “Expressen” writes, among other things, on the Italian Amazon side that the book advertises to read from the fight against cancer. A person from the publisher’s environment had confirmed to the Swedish sheet that it was prostate cancer. Borg has not yet commented on the reports.
Björn Borg is considered a tennis icon
Björn Borg was one of the most successful tennis players in the world in the 70s and 80s. The 69-year-old won Wimbledon five times in a row and secured six titles at the French Open. At the age of only 26, the native Stockholmer ended his career in 1983. Several comeback attempts failed, and since 1993 he had finally withdrawn from professional sports.
