An important figure in the world of tennis shows concern for what the break between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero might unleash.
Björn Borg's autobiography, "Heartbeats," continues its 'world tour.' The Swede is actively promoting a book in which he opens up to confess what happened in a life full of events. In a conversation with MARCA, he clearly defined his biggest regret: not so much retiring, at the young age of 26, from his professional career but rather making a 180º turn in his lifestyle back then. "Leaving tennis was a stupid decision. I had many friends in that circle. Many times I wondered why I chose a different life instead of the one I already had, that is what I regret," the Swede confessed without hesitation.
