Hello!

I am sure this has been discussed before but I
have missed it...

Bj||rn Borg set tennis on fire Sweden. After him,
Sweden produced a number of great male players
for decades.

Nowadays the Swedes are total losers, even the
Finns are better, most notably Harri Heli||vaara
as a world #1 doubles player and a three time GS
champion.

What caused Sweden's total fall in your opinion?

Can't say for sure, but it's probably the pussyfication of the Nordic man.

You don't need to be a man to play tennis, so it's not that.

It often comes and goes for nations. The last Slam Men's champion was
Roddick way back in 2003 and I honestly don't see that changing for at
least another year or so.

It would be interesting to correlate it to the rise of the metro-sexual
sub culture in the west.

If the wrist becomes too limp, it negatively affects the game, one would think...
