Movie Review: Borg VS McEnroe

I finally got around to watching this movie.  It is a well done and the effort to find actors that look like the players is amazing especially in the case of Borg.  Assuming that the storyline is based on truthful events I did learn some things that I didn't know.  First, I didn't know Borg had a temper on the court that he eventually brought under control to the extent he was known as the iceman.  I didn't know that Borg ran into Mac at the airport shortly after Wimbledon and they spoke.  If true, this also explains how they became friends over time.


If you are a tennis enthusiast then it is mandatory to eventually see this movie.  It helps fill in some gaps in what may have happened behind the scenes.  Even those of us that followed things closely and read about events as well will find something new.   On top of all of this I find it a very entertaining movie.
