The famously private Borg said he wrote it with his wife, Patricia, over about 2 1/2 years.
“I went through some difficult times, but (it’s) a relief for me to do this book,” Borg said. “I feel so much better.”
He said he had been testing himself for prostate cancer “for many, many years,” because, he added, “The thing is that you don’t feel anything — you feel good, and then it’s just happened.”
There was a result his doctors found troubling in September 2023, so they wanted to do follow-ups, he said.
But that was right before Borg was due to fly to Canada to serve as the captain of Team Europe in the Laver Cup, and the doctors said he shouldn’t go.
“Of course I went to Vancouver. I didn’t listen,” he said.
