Lennart Bergelin

Lennart Bergelin (10 June, 1925) is a former Swedish tennis player.

During a ten year period, between 1946 and 1955, Bergelin was ranked among the top 10 amateur players in the world. He won 20 national championships (9 singles and 11 doubles) and became the first swedish player ever to win a grand slam, as he and Jaroslav Drobny won the French doubles championship in 1948.

Bergelin played 89 Davis Cup-matches representing Sweden and won 63 of these. He played the last DC-game, at the age of 40, together with Jan-Erik Lundqvist.

Between 1971 and 1976 Bergelin captained the swedish DC team and in 1975 he led them to victory as they defeated Czechoslovakia in the finals.

From 1971 and forward he was Björn Borg’s personal trainer.

Bergelin earned the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal in 1950.
