Bjrn Borg and the Super-Swedes: Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, and the Golden Era

Description: Bjrn Borg and the Super-Swedes by Mats Holm, Ulf Roosvald, Cecilia Palmcrantz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Learn the details behind Swedens domination on the tennis court! Publisher Description Written by Mats Holm and Ulf Roosvald, Bjrn Borg and the Super-Swedes explains how a small country with eight million inhabitants like Sweden could become the leading nation in tennis and an example to imitate worldwide. It starts with the legend of Bjrn Borg, the taciturn and mysterious Swede who became an icon of the 70s and turned tennis into a global sport, and ends with the Kings of Tennis, the nostalgic senior event part of the Champions Tour held each year in Stockholm. The 1985 Australian Open final, the first (and only, so far) all-Swedish Grand Slam final in the history of tennis, between Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander, is a prominent focus of the book. The classic Davis Cup encounters between USA and Sweden in 1982 and 1984 and the Borg-John McEnroe rivalry are also key story lines. The book also includes off-the-court details about the players, painting a well-rounded picture of their personalities, as well as context on the politics of Sweden at the time, including the impact of the Social Democratic Party.
