Björn Borg tells the AP his prostate cancer is in remission after 2024 operation
September 4, 2025
Tennis great Björn Borg reveals in the last chapter of his upcoming memoir that he was diagnosed with an “extremely aggressive” prostate cancer, and he tells The Associated Press that it is in remission after an operation in 2024. Borg said in a recent video interview with the AP from his home in Stockholm that his most recent tests came back clean in August and is feeling good. Borg won 11 Grand Slam singles titles before walking away from tennis at age 26, although he made a brief return later. That stunningly early retirement is one of several subjects, including his drug use and his relationships with family members and women, discussed in the book titled “Heartbeats.”
