Borg vs. McEnroe (2017)



Released April 13, 2018, in the US.
Filmed in Monaco, Sweden, England, Czech Republic, and New York.
Based on truths.
The story: In 1980, 24-year-old humble and composed Swedish Bjorn Borg has become legendary in the tennis world.
He is feeling the stress of his up-and-coming matches for a fifth Wimbleton win and isn't sure he can or wants to make it.
When Borg makes it to the Men's Singles Finals,  he is matched up against aggressive, rebellious, up-and-coming 21-year-old American John McEnroe.
The result has been considered the greatest tennis match ever.
