Borg returns, but for how long ?
MONTE CARLO, Monaco, Apr 26: In the space of 24 hours, Bjorn Borg's comeback bid has taken a jolt from two sides — on the court and on the homefront, reports AP.
First, Borg was soundly beaten Tuesday tn his first tournament match in eight years. Then he learned Wednesday morning that his Italian wife, Loredana Berte. had been hospitalized in Milan after swallowing barbituates in an apparent suicide attempt
Berte. a flamboyant 39-year-old rock singer, was reported out of danger after doctors pumped her stomach.
The incident only complicates what already appears to be a longshot attempt by Borg to return to the top of his tennis game at the age of 34.
No one has written him off completely, but the early consensus Is that Borg won't go very far.
In hi* first match since coming out of retirement, the former Swedish great looked like an average touring pro Tuesday in losing 6 2, 6-3. to Jordi Arrcse in the Monte Carlo Open.
It quickly became clear that Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl won't have to look over their shoulders at
Expert*, in fact, wonder whether he I* capable of breaking into the top 100 again, let alone the top 10.
That • a humbling project for a man who held the No. 1 ranking for 104 weeks during his career He won 62 singles titles, including 11 Grand Slams
He might be able to exist in the 60* or 70s (of the rankings), but 1 doubt he would be satisfied with that, said Richard Evans, a veteran British tennis columnist and the ATP Tour's director of communication* in Europe . "He may have to reassess what he wants."
"Ke might be able to win some matches or small tournaments. but not the big events." said Borg's former
coach. Lennart Bergelin. "Age is against him."
The shortcoming* of Borg sgame emerged immediately. He's slower. His timing is off. He's not sure where to place his sHbts. He's prone to unforced errors. He has little power.Part of the problem is hi* obsolete wooden racket. Everyone elae now uses bigger.more powerful graphite composite models.
"He has no weapons with that racket against people who hit the ball at least 20 per cent faster, “ Evans said.
Ten years ago, Borg could often win matches — especially on clay — by simply outlasting his opponents with patience and steadiness. But the new rackets have revolutionized the game, making way for a new breed of all-court sluggers.
"The game has changed," said Nick Bolk-ttieri, coach of Andre Agassi, leader of the new pack. There arc now people who can not only keep the ball In play but can also hit winners. There arc too many big hitters who can hurt you."
Borg insisted the racket had nothing to do with his poor showing In Monte Carlo. He said he just needs more tournament matches under his belt.
"After so many years it's difficult to play your best tennis right from the start." he said. "After a few tournaments I will get my confidence back."
But the solution may not be that simple. Borg's next scheduled appearance will be at the Italian Open next month, followed by the French Open and Wimbledon.
As an unseeded wildcard entry at those events, Borg will be at the mercy of the draw. He is likely to come up against tough opponents In the first round. If he continues to lose early, some tournaments might think twice before offering him n wiki card.
T think he would have been belter served pocketing a bit of pride and playing a (smaller) Challenger Series event," Evans said. 1 wish he would find a tournament tn which he has a reasonable chance of Winning matches.
He has to used to win ntng again. It he gets tough draws in Rome and Paris and loses in the first round, then where is he ? His confidence will be shattered.''
Why Borg decided to return to the courts In the first place remains a subject of debate. Borg says he just missed the game and wanted to sec if he could excel again.
Others speculate he is doing it for the money or to escape his personal problems.
Borg divorced his Romanian wife, Mariana Stmioncscu, and fathered a son with Swedish model Janike Bjorling. Then followed an ugly breakup and prolonged child custody battle. Meanwhile, Borg's design and sportswear company went bankrupt.
In February 1989, Borg was hospitalized in Milan and had his stomach pumped. Italian media called it a suicide attempt: Borg blamed a case of food poisoning.
Berte's hospitalisation Wednesday came only two days after she telephoned Italian journalists in Monte Carlo in an agitated state.
She reportedly complained that Borg was more devoted to his physical and conditioning trainer, Ron Thatcher, a 79-year-old martial art* expert who goes by the name Tat Honsal. or simply "The Professor."
"The last thing anyone would want would be for Bjorn to suffer a series of defeats by players who, ut his peak, would have been lucky to take more than one or two token games from him," said Philippe Cha trier, President of the International Tennis Federation.
"That would not on^y be sad for him but would also taint too "wmy memories of one of the
Evans was more blunt: "We hope he docon I make a W of himself."
