There has been much skepticism on the part of McEnroe himself – on how the actors could portray himself and Borg with authenticity in their technical ability in the sport. Though with an emphasis on the psychological aspect of their rivalry, this trailer certainly appears nothing like a standard sports drama.

Borg vs. McEnroe, directed by Janus Metz Pederson, co-stars Stellan Skarsgard, Tuva Novotny and Robert Emms. It will be distributed internationally through AB Svensk Filmindustri, and has a slated UK release date of September 22nd.
