KSLTA cancels legend Bjorn Borg’s felicitation ceremony in Bengaluru without citing reason

Bengaluru, Feb 22 (PTI) The Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association, which had organised a ceremony to felicitate tennis legend Bjorn Borg on Tuesday, cancelled the event without citing any reason.

A KSLTA official claimed that the ace tennis player was busy watching his son Leo Borg’s match with Taiwanese player Hsu Yu Hsiou and hence it was ‘put on hold’.

However, some reports claimed that Borg, who won 11 Grand Slam titles in his career, was upset with the delay in arrival of Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai at the venue. Bommai was supposed to attend the event at 10.30 am, according to the schedule.

The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) had said in the daily schedule of the programme that Bommai will only interact with Borg and another legendary tennis player from India Vijay Amritraj. Bommai was late by about an hour.
