Wow. What a smash. It sure may not seem the most popular name and title yet there are many backsides to the story of two tennis legends, Borg and McEnroe. One is the hot - headed sort and the other is the normal and relaxed one.

Of course, questions were raised on how this film would captivate the attention of many, so we can clearly see this is only for the sporting people. OK, so the details?

The film is pretty nice and well-explained in all the film, roughly missing out on the narrow times.

However, my part which I'm not certain of is the part where Borg is seen with the man who is close friends with McEnroe, so it is hard to understand the link. There is an amazing build up to what you can tell will be the Wimbledon Cup final consisting of Borg v McEnroe. To show the side effects and also the cause and effect of this significant match shows the world that anything can change, for the better and for the worse, and if it is in the case of these two great tennis players, it is done properly, showing what they were like!
