The detail appears on the book’s Amazon page ahead of a mid‑September launch.

Overview

  • Swedish outlet Expressen reported that Borg discloses a battle with cancer in his autobiography, citing text visible on Amazon.
  • The Italian listing includes the phrase about an “ongoing challenge” against cancer, which Expressen and others report refers to the prostate.
  • Neither Borg nor his family has commented, and media note the report remains unconfirmed until publication.
  • The autobiography, titled Hjartslag (Heartbeat) and co-written with his wife Patricia, is due in English around September 18 and in Italy on September 25.
  • Coverage by ANSA, Corriere della Sera, and La Gazzetta dello Sport amplified the Swedish reports and drew widespread concern in the tennis community.
