Some young fans got a chance to train with two tennis legends.

What’s it about? 11-time grand slam winner Bjorn Borg and current Tamil Nadu Tennis Association President Vijay Amritraj conducted a tennis clinic at the SDAT Stadium with some young tennis fans. The two faced each other at the 1974 US Open and 1979 Wimbledon tournaments.

  • The duo spent time with about 30 kids on the outside courts, watching them play and providing feedback. They had a brief Q&A session with the kids.
  • Borg emphasised the importance of practice, spending time on the court, and being motivated. Amritraj spoke about how tennis can lead to better education if they’re good enough.
