Carlos Alcaraz split with Juan Carlos Ferrero sparks \u2018married couple\u2019 comparison<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cBut he needs structure because otherwise, he could end up quitting tennis like Borg did at 25. And we have a genius here, so we don\u2019t want that; we want him to continue for a very, very long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going to happen is that for the first six months, it\u2019s going to be a trial-and-error process. There will be names circulating, people wondering who will take the job, who won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, to coach a genius like Alcaraz, he\u2019s not going to face many rejections.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf things don\u2019t work out with the person he hires for whatever reason, and it\u2019s Sinner who starts taking the first two Grand Slams of the season \u2014 that is, the Australian Open, where Jannik is the overwhelming favourite, and Roland Garros, where he was one point away from winning it \u2014 he\u2019s going to call Juan Carlos back immediately, that\u2019s obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n
When did Bjorn Borg retire from tennis?<\/p>\n
Borg was arguably the best player of his era and remains one of the sport\u2019s all-time greats, having won 11 Grand Slams (six French Open titles and five Wimbledon titles) between 1974 and 1980.<\/p>\n
The Swede, who won 66 singles titles in total, shocked the tennis world with his retirement in 1983 at the age of just 26. He made a comeback in 1991 before playing his last-ever match in 1993.<\/p>\n
