Björn Rune Borg was born on June 6, 1956, in Stockholm, Sweden, to parents Rune and
Margarethe. Initially a hockey fan, Borg wasn't fond of tennis. At age 9 when his father brought
home a tennis racket he had won as a prize in a ping-pong tournament.
Borg caught the attention of tennis coach Percy Rosberg and began making regular three-
hour round-trip train rides to meet with the instructor. He won his first tournament at age 11, and
at 13 he won both the 13-and 14-year-old divisions of the Sweden National Junior
Championships. His career on the upswing, he dropped out of school to devote himself to
training full time.
Borg qualified for the Swedish Davis Cup team at age 15 and won both of his singles
matches. After becoming the 1972 Wimbledon junior champion and winning events in Berlin,
Barcelona and Miami, he chose to be a professional tennis player.
Borg first rose to prominence at Wimbledon in 1973, when adoring female fans lined up to get a
glimpse of the handsome, mysterious Swede. His long blond hair tucked beneath a headband,
Borg featured a distinct playing style with his two-handed backhand and topspin-heavy ground
strokes. He won his first tournament just days before his 18 th birthday, and two weeks later he
became the youngest winner of the French Open.

The glorious Idul Fitri day may be over but the holiday atmosphere is still high in the air. As
an addition to the annual mudik custom, many people use his national holiday as an
opportunity to explore some unfamiliar places and embark on a family holiday.
Approaching the end of the Muslim festive season, travel search site, Wego, has recently
revealed insights into Indonesian travel trends for this year’s Idul Fitri. Wego Indonesia
managing director Graham Hills said that Indonesians searched for domestic trips is greater
in numbers this year.
“Domestic travel trends more than tripled this year. Yogyakarta took over from last year’s
top destination of Bandung for hotel searches, and the city features as one of the most notable
movers this year, increasing 78 percent over 2014,” Hills explained.
He also said that even though Bali featured as the number one domestic destination for the
past two years, this year the island only occupied the fourth position with flight searches to
Yogyakarta escalating by 342 percent.
Regarding accommodation options, Indonesians tended to seek higher ranked properties,
while taking advantage of cheaper airfares. In 2014, more than half of Wego’s Indonesian
users sought three-star accommodation listings, but surprisingly this year we’ve seen a shift
toward higher rated hotels. Domestic airfare searches rallied in mid-June, and while average

airfares were around ten percent lower this year,” Hills continued.
