Inspired by real events.
Silence, thanks. Silence.
Tennis uses the language of life.
Advantage, error, breakage.
Every match is
life in miniature.
Andre Agassi.

Center Court in Wimbledon, -

Rune. It is...
It is Swedish.

An ordinary job.

- Time just ran out of me.
Have you packed your bag?
Of course.
Out.
How?
Come down and look at it!
Shut up!
When you make such an order,
it is clear we will protest.
And I want to shoot the audience.
Gu the hell was it inside!
Please continue playing, Mr.
McEnroe.
Has any judicial error been committed
today? Answer my question.
Answer my question!
The New York Times
describes him as -
- The worst representative of
American values since Al Capone.
Ladies and gentlemen,
John McEnroe.
Did you get anybody
out of the box, John?
Not as far as I know. Not yet.
I like you, John.
And in three days, go to
London to play Wimbledon.
Everyone talks about Bjrn Borg's opportunity
to win his fifth championship in a row.
And the only thing that stands
between Borg and that record is you.
Here they write in London,
where you are not popular.
Tell me what are you
doing to the British?
Have no idea.
They are different over there.
It is a different culture.
They drink hot beer and so on.
Can you make them stop buhe?
I just want to play my game and
if I hit Borg in the finals,
- They make it difficult to
buhe when I am number one.
Bjrn, how is the shape?
Has it gone well?
What do you mean about McEnroe?
"At home, the press writes like this.
"I can be a nightmare for all.
- you and Borg are as different
as two people can be.
You constantly mention Borg.
Is he on the run?
We are always talking about him.
It is me to be interviewed.
But Borg is often described as
the perfect ice-cold player.
Do you ever think
he loses his mind?
Have no idea.
- It's not the usual car.
- Yes. They know it should be.
The seed pattern is not the same.
Well for hell...
I have to call them tomorrow.
You spoke the fandemen only about Borg.
We should talk about the future of the sport.
It's the power elements every time.
Such a spoiled sh*t!
This is useless, dad.
There are fandemen every single time!
There are two more days, Arthur, and
everyone talks about Bjrn Borg.
The 24-year-old Swedes can write
history with their fifth title.
Can McEnroe control the Borg of Throne?
Borg is under severe pressure.
Everyone expects him to win.
McEnroe, on the other hand,
is the perfect underdog.
You have played against them both.
Who is the best?
McEnroe is the biggest talent,
but Borg plays as a hammer.
If Borg is a hammer,
McEnroe is a scalpel.
A cut here, a plug there, and soon you're
covered with a sea of small wounds.
And then you are amazed.
6000!
Take it easy.
Self-confidence will probably come.
- Should there be no closed training?
- Tell the blood suck over there.
It will be OK.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Are there any questions
to the other players?
Has he already won?
Bjrn, how was telegram
from the king's parade?
It's always nice when
somebody hurts on one.
How does it feel like writing
history with a fifth win?
I feel nothing special about that.
Here is the plan for the fall 82.
There are two more years, but then you know.
We aim primarily for Asia.
Showcases in Japan, South Korea, -
- Hong Kong, China and South Africa.
We said no to South Africa.
It's one million
dollars for one match.
But it will be to
support apartheid.
"We're going to wipe the chainsaw, Bjrn.
