Borg, 20, was handed a wildcard entry and beat Swedish compatriot Ymer 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 at the Bastad Tennis Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ranked at a lowly 437th, Borg plays mostly on the ITF Tour, the lowest level of the men’s professional game.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve worked so hard for this, so many years, and some days you get results and today I got a win,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Borg will play Argentina’s Federico Coria, who is the world number 113, in the last-16 stage of the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bjorn Borg was one of tennis’ greatest ever stars and won 11 Grand Slam titles – including five back-to-back Wimbledon titles – in the 1970s and early 1980s before he retired aged only 26.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
