Bjorn Borg is going to play competitive tennis in the United States for the first time in a decade, and he could wind up facing a familiar foe: John McEnroe.
The 53-year-old Borg is participating in the 30-and-over Outback Champions Series event in Boston that begins Thursday. If Borg beats Mikael Pernfors, he'll face McEnroe or Mats Wilander.
Borg won 11 Grand Slam singles titles from 1974 to 1981 - five at Wimbledon, six at the French Open. He and McEnroe split their 14 career meetings. Their most famous match was the 1980 Wimbledon final, in which McEnroe won a fourth-set tiebreaker 18-16, but Borg won the fifth set 8-6.
Says Borg: ``It's always something special to see John's face on the other side of the net.''
