John McEnroe and Björn Borg went head-to-head over 20 times during their professional tennis careers and the rivalry between the two will be remembered as one of the greatest in the history of the sport.

Borg was the No. 1 ranked player at the time and was considered to be one of the greatest players of all-time by fans across the globe, while McEnroe was better known for his hot temper on the court and getting fired up over the smallest things. Well, next month you’ll be able to relive one of the greatest tennis rivalries when ‘Borg vs. McEnroe’ hits theatres and On Demand.



Sverrir Gudnason will play the role of Björn Borg, while John McEnroe’s character will be portrayed by Shia LaBeouf as the two actors recreate the famous rivalry between the two leading up to the 1980 Wimbledon Championships, where they met in the men’s single final.



The film originally opened at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, but it’ll be available On Demand and in theatres on April 13.
