Bjorn Borg's son, Leo, competed in the junior Les Petits As tournament in France this week, drawing attention for his famous family history.

Leo, 13, reached the second round of the tournament. He plays juniors for a top club in Sweden.

"He loves tennis,” the legendary Bjorn Borg told *Le Parisien*. “He wants to play all the time. He plays for one of the best clubs in Sweden, with very good coaches–a big team. I don't involve myself too much."

Bjorn said that he does not coach Leo. Borg's older son, Robin, played college tennis. Leo, who is still in school, occasionally plays juniors events in Europe.

"We sometimes play together," Borg added, “because we have a court at home. If he asks me for advice, of course I respond."

Several top players—such as Rafael Nadal, Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga—played at the event in juniors competition.
