Bjorn Borg is a legend of tennis. The Swedish player has inspired an entire generation, along with other legends. While he was a great star on the tennis court, his relationships off the court were not as solid as his form. He retired from the sport at the age of 26 and married Loredana Bertè, an Italian singer and actress. Their marriage would end after five years, and it would not end on a good note.

However, the Italian singer manages to find humor in her life by irritating her ex-husband. She recently stated that she wants to win a singing competition in Sweden and find a way to annoy her ex-husband.

Loredana Bertè, who is representing Italy with the song ‘Pazza’, has asked the country to vote for her so she can go to Eurovision in Sweden and annoy Bjorn Borg. “I want to win, I want to go to Eurovision, it’s held in Sweden and I want to annoy my ex-husband,” she said in Sanremo.
