The Stockholm Open has lost its last Swedish players in the singles draw. On Monday, wildcard Leo Borg, son of five-time Wimbledon champion Björn Borg, lost 6-3, 6-2 to British qualifier Toby Samuel in 1 hour 10 minutes. Earlier in the day, wildcard Max Dahlin went down to fifth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3.

The third Swedish wildcard, Elias Ymer, lost to Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-1, 7-6 (4) on Sunday.

Borg against Samuel

Borg broke Samuel in the opening game, but the Briton broke straight back and took control. He broke again for 5-3 and served out the first set.

Samuel broke twice more in the second set, for 3-2 and 5-2, and closed the match on his second match point. Borg saved seven of the 11 break points he faced, but made six double faults, according to Flashscore.

Samuel, ranked No. 95, had beaten Adrian Mannarino 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the last round of qualifying. He will face third seed Lorenzo Musetti, who had a first-round bye, in the last 16.

Dahlin against Etcheverry

Dahlin, ranked over the 700th place at the ATP, pushed Etcheverry to a deciding set. The Swede saved a match point at 5-6 in the second-set tie-break and won the last three points to level the match. Etcheverry broke him for 5-3 in the third set and served it out.
