Borg Vs McEnroe: Real John McEnroe SLAMS movie – ‘I don’t think it’s good’

The tennis icon has slammed Borg Vs McEnroe for its inaccuracies – claiming plenty of actual incidents would have had the same effect.

“Unfortunately, even though I wished it was a good movie, I don’t think it is a good movie, I’m sad to say,” he said, according to The Telegraph.

“A lot of it is not accurate. I mean, I don’t know why they couldn’t make it accurate. 

“They made up some stuff. There is plenty of stuff – if they wanted to make me look like a jerk at times, they could have come up with something far better than they came up with, in my humble estimation.”

Borg also sounded relatively disinterested, calling it merely “OK”.

He had previously said: “We were not involved from the beginning, me and John.

“I saw it a couple of weeks ago in Stockholm, and I thought it’s OK. It’s OK. But it’s still a fiction movie.”

He added: “Everything is not true. I mean, they do things, create things to make it more excited or whatever. 

“It’s not a documentary or true story. But I thought it was good, anyway, even if it’s fiction.”

Sverrir Gudnason plays Borg in the movie, with Shia LaBeouf as McEnroe. Stellan Skarsgard also stars.

Borg Vs McEnroe is out now.
