Bjorn Again: Frantangelo in Paris, That Is
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 8:24PM
He wins again, and is in the semi-finals of the French Open Juniors.
I'm talking about American, Bjorn Frantangelo. He's an Italian-American whi grew up in Pittsburgh, but his father was a big Bjorn Borg fan in the 70's and 80's and hence his first name.
Here's an interview the USTA did with him earlier today and posted on USTA.com. He's a guy you can really root for.
Here's a short clip of him playing earlier this year on hardcourts. His game is very Roddick-like, so the results at Roland Garros are a bit of a surprise. He's one to watch in the next 12 months.
