Bjorn Borg – The Interview!

Remington Reynolds is pretty excited!  As one of our Premier Live and Necker Cup Co-Founders along with Trevor Short and Mike Richards, he gets to experience a lot of amazing things and strives to live out his passion each day.  That certainly rang true a few months ago during our 2018 Manuka Doctor Necker Cup presented by Metal. While playing some tennis on Moskito Island, where Necker Cup partner Richard Branson has a home, Rem sat down with the legend Bjorn Borg and had a nice chat.  

What did they talk about you ask?  Well, just about everything ranging from the competition at Necker Cup, his relationship with John McEnroe, Laver Cup, early retirement, parenting his son’s tennis talent.  

Check our Rem’s interview below and see for yourself how excited he was for this one-on-one time with his friend Bjorn!
