Leo Borg once revealed how his father Bjorn Borg has been his biggest support system in and out of the court
Leo Borg has been coached and guided by his father since very young. In an interview from 2024, he expressed admiration for Bjorn Borg and highlighted that the latter's knowledge benefits him in and out of the court.
Leo said, via The Times of India:
"It’s a special thing to me to have a dad like him. He has done a lot of things in his time, and I feel really blessed because he has all the knowledge I need to get (from a father and a coach). Of course, he’s been really supportive, and he has always been there for me on the tennis (court) and outside tennis. He's been the best dad actually. So, I'm pretty, really proud of him, and he has a really special place in my heart."
Besides his dad, Rafael Nadal has also impacted the 21-year-old greatly. He once talked about meeting the latter at the Laver Cup for the first time since his father captained the European team.
