Borg vs McEnroe is a film which gives an untold perspective of when both these tennis giants went head to head in the 1980 Wimbledon Final. It shows an interesting insight of how each of them had to control their emotions whilst overcoming many difficult obstacles.
This movie was not has I was expecting as it didn't mainly cover the sporting aspect of this true story. However this made it easier to understand the characters and in my opinion made it a better film.
