Marbella, Spain, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Apr, 2021 ) :Pablo Carreno Busta captured his fifth career title at the Andalucia Open on Sunday, making a big impression on watching Swedish legend Bjorn Borg.

Former world number one and 11-time major winner Borg, who was on court for the trophy ceremony, hailed the two players.

"We saw a great final today with two great players and great tennis," said Borg who managed the Club de Tennis Puente Romano in Marbella where the tournament took place when it opened in 1979.

"I think everybody agrees with me on that." Carreno Busta said he was honoured by Borg's praise.
