Cedric Pioline, Fernando Meligeni and Nuno Marques.
Swedish player and former world number one Bjorn Borg told The Resident: “I am hoping to play some good tennis, but I am in a difficult group. The most important thing for me is to have fun. There will be a lot of great matches.”
This is not the first time that Bjorn Borg has visited Vale do Lobo: “I came here with my wife six years ago. It’s nice to have my family around. It’s going to be a nice week for all of us.”
