Former tennis icon Bjorn Borg, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, has made headlines after selling his favorite racket at an astonishingly high price. This has sparked concern from his son, Leo Borg, who believes his father may be struggling emotionally and might need mental support.
The legendary Swede, who dominated the tennis world in the 1970s and early 1980s, famously retired at just 26 and has since lived a life largely out of the limelight. However, recent actions, including selling this prized possession, have raised eyebrows. “It’s not about the money,” Leo reportedly said. “I think my father is dealing with something deeper. Selling something so personal and valuable to him signals he might need help.”
The racket, which holds immense sentimental value as it was instrumental in many of Borg’s Grand Slam victories, was sold for what many describe as a “ridiculous” amount. Critics argue that the sale might indicate financial distress or emotional turbulence. Borg, now in his late 60s, has faced challenges transitioning away from his competitive career, despite his monumental achievements. His son’s call for mental support is a reminder that even the strongest icons may grapple with vulnerabilities later in life.
