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 next generation, they were great times!

I so wanted to love this film but for me, to use a tennis analogy, it stuttered to a third set, possibly a fourth but it never made the final fifth set that I wanted. It was slow, ponderous and lacking of any real depth. There were so many errors in the film, something I can't quite get over. The 1980 final and the run up to that match was incredibly well documented and the video still exists to this day so why not make it accurate?

They missed a great opportunity to really show what happened at Wimbledon but failed - as far as I'm concerned. The major problem with the film is that the maker, to keep the tension going until the end, relies on the fact that the viewer doesn't know the outcome of the match. It was ok but could have been so much better.
