Swedish Greats to Meet
Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander were household names in tennis. The 3 greatest Swedish players ever combined to win 24 Grand Slam titles between them, all also achieving the world number 1 position. Bjorn dominated the late 1970's and early 1980's winning 5 consecutive Wimbledon crowns. Wilander hit his peak in the late 1980's, achieving the world number 1 ranking in 1989. Stefan Edberg was also dominant in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Unfortunately for tennis, the 3 now retired greats never met in the same tournament. This thursday in Stockholm, the 3 will meet in an exhibition match for the first and possibly last time.

Guga Repeats
Gustavo Kuerten has proven his clay court skill with victory at the French Open after an epic campaign. He escaped near certain defeat in the 4th round, when American qualifier Michael Russell held match point for a straight sets upset. That seemed to focus Guga more, proceeding to cruise through the final three rounds to the title. This is his second consecutive French Open, and the third of his career. That's better than former champions Sergi Bruguera and Jim Courier, who each only won twice.
