Agassi group to buy Borg's trophies

I've not been following this story much, because all the uproar seems to be around Borg either being a) hard up for some cash b) insensitive to all of us who really know what some tennis hardware means or c) all of the above.

But now, the newest caretaker of all things tennis, Andre Agassi, is stepping in to save the day:

Borg, who is financially strapped, is planning to auction the five trophies he won between 1976 and 1980 as well as two signed rackets he used.

The sale is due to go ahead June 21 at Bonham's salerooms in London, and the trophies and rackets are collectively expected to bring in between 200,000 and 300,000 pounds, or $521,100.

"I've discussed it with my own people to find a way of gathering the right people together to buy those trophies and do right by the game to purchase them," Agassi told reporters at the Pacific Life Open.

"I think there's a lot of people who could step up to help for sure -- Wimbledon being one and myself another."

In a statement, Borg, 50, said he had decided to put the items up for auction because he and his family need long-term financial security.

Or he could just do the move in vogue right now, and make a comeback return to tennis!
