“The story of the world’s greatest icons Björn Borg and his biggest rival, the young and talented John McEnroe and their legendary duel during the 1980’s Wimbledon tournament.”
From director Janus Metz, his feature film debut, Borg vs. McEnroe is the story of two iconic tennis stars and their epic clash during the 1980 Wimbledon tournament. The trailer looks solid and I hope the film does this rivalry justice. The cast includes Shia LaBeouf, Sverrir Gudnason, Stellan Skarsgård, and Tuva Novotny. Check out the newly released official trailer below!!
