Just 15 and Bjorn’s boy looks set for Wimbledon

-

BJORN BORG’S 15-year-old son, Leo, has clearly inherited more than his dad’s thick blond hair, blue eyes and wry smile.

Leo won Sweden’s under-16 tennis championsh­ip at the weekend, prompting mum Patricia Ostfeldt to gush online: ‘Congratula­tions Leo Borg for winning Swedish Championsh­ip second year in a row.’

Bjorn, 62 — Wimbledon champ for five consecutiv­e years from 1976 — enjoyed a similarly successful start to his career. At Leo’s age he represente­d Sweden in the 1972 Davis Cup. Leo is Bjorn’s only child from three marriages, but he also has a son aged 33, Robin, with model Jannike Bjorling. He was previously married to Italian singer Loredana Berte, while his first wife was Romanian tennis pro Mariana Simionescu.
