Borg McEnroe, one of Tennis’ greatest rivalries will now be portrayed on screen in a Janus Metz Pederson film, starring Sverrir Gudnason as Bjorn Borg and Shia LeBouf as John McEnroe. Out of all things that we are excited to see in the movie, the 1980 Wimbledon Finals where Borg won an epic five-setter (1–6, 7–5, 6–3, 6–7 (16–18), 8–6) ranks the highest.
Here’s looking at a few other rivalries we would like to see on screen.
Rafael Nadal-Roger Federer
Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi
Andy Murray-Novak Djokovic
Mika Hakkinen-Michael Schumacher
Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier
Muhammad Ali even made a poem on their rivalry. Enough said.
