Swedish tennis has a rich history. Think of Bjorn Borg, Mats Wilander, Stefan Edberg, Thomas Enqvist, Thomas Johansson and now Robin Soderling. But they’re all men and it’s fair to say Swedish women have struggled to make a name for themselves on the WTA Tour.
Johanna Larsson is one of a new breed of Swedish women emerging onto the scene. The 22 year old made her main draw Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros in May and reached the second round. She entered the top 100 for the first time in June and reached the quarter finals at a WTA tournament in Prague before making her first Tour singles final at Portoroz where she beat compatriot Sofia Arvidsson and third seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova en route to the final.
