Former tennis stars Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe have taken on each other once again as skippers at the new Laver Cup in Prague, but also as critics of a new movie about their on-court rivalry. Starring Swedish actor Sverrir Gudnason as Borg and Transformers star Shia LaBeouf as McEnroe, 'Borg McEnroe' was released this month.
"It's not very good. I don't want to get into it. I've had nothing to do with it. To me it's inaccurate and I just don't think it's very good," McEnroe said. Borg, who is 61 and who has won 11 Grand Slam titles, said he quite liked the film, rated at 7.3 stars out of 10 on the www.imdb.com website.
"I saw it a couple of weeks ago in Stockholm and I thought it's OK, but it's still a fiction movie," Borg said about 'Borg McEnroe'. "We were not involved from the beginning. It would be more fun if we were involved, because then we could give more details."
