Not everyone can tell his kids to have rubbed shoulders with Bjorn Borg but Davidovich Fokina soon will

Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has revealed that he will tell his kids about meeting the former world number one Bjorn Borg.

The 24-year-old is currently taking part in the Laver Cup where he is representing Team Europe.

During the competition, Davidovich Fokina managed to meet the 11-time Grand Slam winner in the Open era and stated that he would tell his kids about meeting such a legendary player.

"It's gonna be a nice story when I will tell to my kids, for sure, that I have Bjorn next to me,” he said. “After that I watched obviously not live, but I watched his games, and to have it there is quite similar when he plays. Very calm guy.”

Borg is often termed one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis as he ended as he became the first player to win 11 major titles in the Open era.

Those victories involved six French Open titles and five back-to-back victories in Wimbledon.

Borg, who became the world number one in August 1977, ended his illustrious career after winning 66 titles at the highest level.

His last major title victory came in 1981 when he defeated Czech Republic’s Ivan Lendl in the final of the French Open in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–1, 4–6, 6–2, 3–6, 6–1.
