Abstract
This paper will treat the different aspects that Swedes have brought to men's professional tennis over the last decades. I chose to speak about this because not only I am a big fan of this sport since I was a child, but also I believe that Swedish men's tennis has taken a huge part in the history of this sport. Suedes are also well-known for their performances in football, hockey and also the Olympic Games, but I wanted to focus on tennis, where we could see a lot of superstars since the astonishing rise of Bjorn Borg. I will start my paper with some explanations about tennis, rankings and tournaments, then I will show the impact of Sweden on this fancy sport. The point of my paper is trying to answer this question :
How did Swedes leave their mark on professional tennis and what will happen next ?
The ATP World Tour is the Association of Tennis Professionals. It was created by professional players back in 1972. Its equivalent for women is the WTA (Women's Tennis Association). The ATP supervizes most of the masculine tournaments.
