Always seemed on the verge of being an epic storytelling, but fell short in depth & execution in the end. Borg was fascinating and it would have been great to see more depth with McEnroe. The tennis match reenactments just weren't engaging enough and made me wish to just be able to watch the actual matches.

Love this movie. I am ashamed to admit it was made better by the fact that I totalllllyy forgot who won in real life so I was super on the edge of my seat.

If you were watching tennis, even casually aware, during this time you'll remember what you thought you knew. This is a great take on "the rest of the story." I remember my Mom telling me at that time that Connors had McEnroe's bad boy reputation not long earlier. To me, Connors seemed like the "good" American, and Mac was the ass. We all thought Borg was always "IceBorg". This movie helps understand all that.

Tense and thrilling on the court, but a little dull off it. Still, it's game, set and match to the actors portraying the two tennis rivals; they held my interest, despite my disinterest in the sport itself.

Actually I hate tennis. And this movie shows so much tennis, that I should actually hate this movie as well.

But this movie was so thrilling, even though it shows so much tennis, it was so interesting, it kept me on the edge of my seat, that I have to give it a great rating.

As a tennis fan and player, growing up I was inspired by Jimmy Connors but who could ever forget Borg and McEnroe. I wouldn't exactly call it a great rivalry, I think they only played each other 14 times but in the 80's there were a small group of players that transformed tennis into the nex More
