Right there.
"THE WORST BORG NIGHTMARE"
Already? Everything is.
Thank you. My name is Amedou.
My name is Rune.
- "Rune"? - Rune. Rune. IT IS...
- Rune ?! - It's Swedish.
What are you doing?
I work as ... electrician.
- Are you an electrician? - I am.
If you are an electrician, I am Prince Albert.
Thank you.
Do you like electricity?
Yes it is...
Yes, it's a very good job. A normal job.
Where have you been? She was worried.
I came home on foot.
"Is something wrong?" "No, I just lost track of time.
Did you pack?
Of course.
Out!
Shit! As? It was a break point. Get down from there and come and see!
Shut up, shit!
If you want to punish me and think that Dad will not appeal, it's up to you, Dad.
And I'm shitting myself for what the public thinks.
This is out! This is in! Shit for this!
I have to ask you to continue to play, Mr. McEnroe.
Fuck! Was there any official mistake today? Answer the question!
The question, asshole! Answer the question!
Let's stop? Let's stop playing?
The man that the New York Times described as being
"the worst representative of values" Americans, from Al Capone "...
Ladies and gentlemen, John McEnroe!
So John annoyed somebody backstage?
Not that I know of. Not yet.
I like you, John. You're great.
- And in three days ... - Three days.
Going to London ... - Yes.
... to play at Wimbledon.
Everyone talks about the hypothesis.
by Björn Borg to win his fifth title consecutive and make history in tennis.
It seems that the only thing that is between Borg and this record is you.
Here is what they have said in London ...
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED SUPER-FEDERAL
... does not make friends there.
John, I have to ask him. What did you do to the English?
Do not know.
It's a different place, you know. A culture different, have hot beer.
Is different.
Have a plan to stop of booing
I intend to go there and play my game.
And if I defeat Borg in the final, It's hard to boo me for being number one.
Can you get the fifth?
A comment for the fans? A comment for the girls?
It's all right?
What do you think of John McEnroe?
Well, that's what the press says here.
"BORG'S BIGGEST NIGHTMARE"
But I can be the nightmare. of anyone.
But I do not think it would be to exaggerate if he said,
that there are not two people so such as John and Borg.
Keep talking about Borg. He is in the backstage? Are you going to jump out of a cake?
I'm sorry we did not stop talking about him. I'm the one here to be interviewed.
Borg is often described as being "pure perfection" and "zero emotion".
Do you think that ever he gets angry
Do not know.
Tomorrow and Wednesday must rain, but not today.
This is not our usual car.
- Course is. They know what we want. - Upholstery is different.
Balls!
I'll call them tomorrow.
We passed the fucking interview whole talk of Borg?
On the phone, he said that we would talk about the future of tennis.
"Now why do you come here with these bullshit here?" "That's not what we agreed.
It's always the same shit, man! Fuck this shit!
- They promised, Father! This is useless. - You were good.
Always the same shit!
It's two days, Arthur, and all we talk about Björn Borg,
the Swedish, who at age 24 only,
can make history by winning his fifth Wimbledon.
McEnroe can push Borg from his throne, Arthur?
Borg will play under enormous pressure.
Everybody expects him to win.
On the other hand, McEnroe, is perfect as the least favorite.
Played with both. Who is the strongest opponent?
McEnroe is the most talented,
But, playing with Borg, It's like carrying a sledgehammer.
But if Borg is a sledgehammer, I would say the McEnroe is a dagger.
A cut here, a cut there, and of Suddenly, we are covered in blood,
although none of the wounds be very deep, and then ...
bleed to death.
6 thousand! 6 thousand!
Do not worry, you will regain confidence.
I thought it would be a "closed" workout.
Tell that to leeches which are beyond.
You'll be fine. Concentrate.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Borg It will come in moments.
Any question for the other players?
Has he won?
How does it feel to receive a telegram of the King to wish him good luck?
Good Luck Votes are always friendly.
How do you feel knowing that you will make history if you win your fifth Wimbledon?
I do not feel anything special.
This is for the autumn of 1982.
There are still two years left, therefore, You do not have to think about it now.
But just to know, we are to focus mainly on Asia.
Tournaments in Japan, Korea South, Hong Kong ... Maybe in China.
And then in South Africa.
I believe we had said no to South Africa.
"It's a million dollars a game." - Yes, but it's also supporting apartheid.
We have to fine-tune the rackets, Björn.
Go on, I'll be right there.
In between.
Put it here, thank you.
Soon, they will need another room for wedding gifts.
We received an offer from Daily Mail by the rights of the wedding photos.
"What was the other offer?" - From The Post, 200.
No. We decided to do it. a private wedding.
This is precisely why which must sell the rights.
Otherwise, they will get 50 paparazzi hidden in the bushes.
What do you think?
- Björn? What do you think? - What is the problem?
They are planning our life.
"Did not you hear what they said?" - Yes, but I want to hear what you want.
Do you want to play in Africa? Do you want to "sell" our marriage?
"I can not think of that now. "It is now that we have to decide.
I can not think about it now.
Right, sure ...
We have advertising campaigns ...
Björn, if the marriage is to make you nervous, we can postpone it.
No, no problem.
"We can do something simpler." - Yes.
Unless it's all settled.
Should not we decide?
Hello. Can I place an order? Do they have black felt markers?
And a sheet of paper 80 by 80, poster type or poster?
Can you send the bookmarks?
It's ok. Thank you.
- McEnroe Residence. - Hi, Mom. Is Dad in?
- No, you're in a meeting with a customer. "Do you know when he'll be back?"
- After lunch. "Whatever time it is."
He can call me later. to serve the customer?
- Why do you need to talk to him? - Because it's important. What else?
- John, do not be ... - I'm not!
- You look like ... "I just do not want to talk to you about this."
I do not want to talk about it with you. There's a lot going on.
There's a lot too happening here.
Go to bed. I'll handle the rest.
What is up?
No one will remember that I won. in Wimbledon 4 consecutive times.
"I just lost it the fifth time." - What matters what you think?
Looks like they're all waiting ...
Waiting for me to fall. - Fuck everybody!
Give everything you have, tomorrow, even that seems like the last thing you do.
It's all here, Björn. Here inside.
Play for OIsson. Olsson leads 4-2 in the second set.
- Out! "No. It was on the line."
Did not flag the foul! Wake up!
"What did you say, Borg?" - I know I was out!
Unsportsmanlike conduct. Warning, Borg.
Unsportsmanlike conduct. Punishment:Borg 0-15.
Unsportsmanlike conduct. Punishment:Borg 0-30.
Who is that?
- It's Borg. It's from Södertälje. - There's a lot of energy.
Yes, but little judgment.
His club does not know what to do. Kid's a problem.
Look at that left ... With both hands ...
He thinks he's knocking. with a taco?
Listening...
You win for the next one.
Björn?
There is no better way to solve this?
"Björn will not cause you any more trouble." - Promise.
Mrs. Borg, it's important. to set an example.
- 6 months suspension is an exaggeration. "We have received many phone calls.
Phone calls from Halmstad, Falköping and Stockholm.
Of the parents of the other players.
They are upset. They do not want their children mixed with Björn.
Tennis is not like football or the hockey, where only the victory interests.
In tennis, the way you win is also important.
It's a sport of gentlemen.
Let's be honest ...
Tennis is not an adequate sport to all social classes.
What goes on in that head, when you play
Look at me, when I talk to you
Do not know.
- We'll have to sell your racket. - Rune, please ...
None of the other kids make a scene
Shut up!
Kid! I'm going to turn off the lights.
- You want a cinnamon bun? "I do not have any money."
- I pay. You deserve it. Are two. - Right away.
Do you also play hockey? That explains your left.
- Looks like a high-top shot. - Yes, it gives more strength.
Exactly.
They say you're almost as good in hockey, as you are in tennis.
Maybe it's more appropriate for me.
Who said that?
You know I'm the captain of the Swedish team. of the Davis Cup, do not you know?
Know.
It's part of my job. discover talents.
Few are suspended for unsportsmanlike conduct.
They say you're not good in the head.
Did they tell you that, too?
You think that's true?
It is not.
Who says that, thinks he knows what do i need
But some of them played in the Central Court of Wimbledon?
- No. - I played.
I came three times to the quarterfinals. In 1946, 1948 and 1951.
I know.
Percy Rosberg and I would like you came to train for Stockholm.
- Does it look good on you? - Yes.
One more thing, Björn ...
Do not stop repeating What they told you to say.
What do you want from tennis?
Being the best.
"The best in Sweden?" - No. Of the world.
Imagine me doing something ...
besides playing tennis?
Yes.
And thou?
Do not think.
It simplifies. He has a service strong, but that's all.
It's on the bottom line. Play your tennis.
FIRST ROUND BORG vs EL SHAFEI
0-15.
40-0.
Björn Borg, world number 1, is experiencing unexpected difficulties,
against the non-seeded Egyptian The Shafei.
No thank you!
I said no thanks.
Said two ... Pete! My God!
- You are fine? - I am. Look.
There it is.
In short, you win all your games, we find ourselves in the quarterfinals,
I catch Connors in the semi-final and Borg in the final.
- How long did it take you to do this? "About an hour or so."
- Do you have your wallet? - Have.
I have to get out of here, man.
- How's your foot? - It's better.
- It is? - Yes, I have an ankle support.
- It's working. - Good.
Do you see how it will be? We cut here ...
Right. And then, We'll meet here.

We are here ... Paras there and the rest of the scene continues.
You are so sure What are you going to beat me for?
- Fuck off! - Yes?
Any comments on your present installment, Mr. Borg?
He played very, very well.
Finally I beat you, but it was not easy.
I look forward to the next game.
Was it harder than you thought?
It took me a long time to feel the floor, more ...
after some time, I played my tennis.
You know how many times I tried to do this, I tried to go to a game and be ...?
Without emotions, without words, be like the Borg.
This is impossible. It is not...
This is not human. He looks...
Where have you been? I've been looking for you.
- On here. - Such as?
- Good. Do you want to drink? Peter.
- Good to see you. - I have a car waiting. Let's go!
I have to go see Jenny. - Peter ...
- Excuse. - It's all right. Here goes.
- Let's go! - Give Jenny a little kiss.
Come on, girls. Let's go. Hurry up!
This is my second home. I love this place.
Seriously, everyone is so cool. Good people.
Are you okay, man? Nice to see you.
- Good! It was brilliant! - You almost hit me in the head!
Have you seen the games? Did you see the Borg game?
- Saw. "So you see what I see?"
Did you see him slow down? Very very slower? Because it's out of shape.
"One day, you'll see, right?" - Explain.
He has 4 Wimbledon titles, right? It's a lot of pressure.
Everyone wants to defeat Björn. Everyone wants something from him.
Become the most lonely man of the planet, you know?
This one is good.
This is Eve and this is Eve. They are English, they are beautiful.
They want to meet you, have fun with you, love you ...
John, I can not talk about tennis here.
Look at these tits! Damn, what else do you want, John?
You want to know what Björn is doing it now?
I want.
She's in bed. His room It's cold with lightning,
because you want to have the heartbeat below of 50 beats per minute.
- That's rumor. - It is not.
He has a date of superstitions, rituals ...
Stop fucking and tell me what I want to hear.
This year, it did not that parents would come, right?
It only lets them come every two years.
And when they come, they have to use the same throughout the tournament.
- Do not make fun of me! - It is not? Every year,
he trains in the same court, book the same hotel,
rents the same car, sleep in the same room ...
His coach always brings 50 rackets,
tightened up! And, every night, before the game,
find themselves in the Lennart room to review all rackets,
organizing everything accordingly with the tension and tone.
It looks like a religion.
Mariana, his girlfriend, Take care of his bag.
The same meticulous order, all with accuracy.
What is it?!
When you arrive on the premises, sit in the same chair and takes two towels.
It is not one, nor are three, There are two!
- And never step on the bottom line. - Why?
Because that means bad luck.
They say it's an iceberg, but, in fact, it is a volcano
that keeps everything in there, until I burst!
A little shorter, yes?
As for the geography test ...
What happened?
I had 96 in 100%.
And the other 4?
I had the best grade in the class.
How many students do you have? in your class, John?
30.
In the real world, out of school, there is much more than 30 people, right?
Is tennis distracting you?
SECOND ROUND MCENROE vs ROCAVERT
So?
Someone will do something As for the pigeons?
Do not you hear?
On the roof, do not you hear? On the roof.
Nothing will be done, no pigeons, during this game, Mr. McEnroe.
Of course not!
The pigeons are breaking my concentration, do not you see?
"I have to ask you to continue ..." - Shut up!
Come on, Big Mac!
150.
Because they do not fire while playing?
Why do not you do that? Lay down fires while I serve.
Whistle a song or that ...
- Please silence. - Thank you thank you...
- Come on! - Shut the fuck up!
New ball. Give me another ball.
He seems deconcentrated.
No. It's the opposite.
Watch ...
30-0.
- Bagpipe for this! - Calm!
15-0 for Bengtson.
Out.
Björn!
Enough for today. Thank you.
- Why are you always doing this? - What?
Swinging in the air like this, after you fail?
Instead, concentrate on the next strike.
Are you listening to me?
Lennart, you can pass on my Cabinet, sooner?
- We have to talk about Borg. - What about him?
Will be in the group to compete against New Zealand?
No way!
- Because? - He's only 15 years old.
- You think he's no good? - He's different.
"We should not press him. - This has a lot of advertising potential.
If a player of 15 years against Onny Parun,
the whole world will repair. It does not matter that he loses.
The youngest ever player of the Davis Cup.
- We're talking about a kid. - He has 15 years.
I refuse to put a player 15 years against the number 20 in the world.
"I will not." "Then I'll have to find someone to do it."
My father will appeal, anyway.
Congratulations on your stay agreed during the whole game.
Cheer up, kid. You won. Come on, give us a smile.
- Shut up! - Fuck you!
0-40.
THIRD ROUND BORG vs FRAWLEY
- I can 't do this. - Calm down.
"Can not we force them to cancel?" - Reschedule?
It's the Central Court. Sold off.
Björn ...
- Go talk to them. - What?
Speak with them.
- Björn ... - Speak with them!
It stopped raining. They will not cancel.
Use this. There is moisture.
Did you talk to them?
You know I did not.
Björn ...
It would not make any difference.
He lay on his head.
- Out! - It was inside!
Out. To be continued.
- You want him to win! - To be continued.
- Out. - What the hell is going on?
Out! To be continued!
- Out. Beat Bengtson. - Cum!
- Get the racket! - Do not even think! You're cheating!
- Catch. "Go to hell, you fagots!"
I told you to get her!
Are you reaching your maximum form.
It is very difficult to string well the rackets?
There's nothing wrong with the rackets.
"I know when the ropes are fine. "That's not the problem, and you know it.
All those display games and the trick of sponsorship ...
Just play tennis, You look good.
- Shut up. - What?
Said to shut up and stretch well the ropes. You just have to do this.
"If I'm a slacker, take my leave." - It's ok!
- Are you serious? - Very seriously.
"He does not mean it." - I'm serious!
Björn!
- What are you going to do now? "What are you going to do?"
Talk about your three bad quarterfinals?
Björn, please ...
Arthur, what should be Björn Borg to think after your brilliant rendering?
If McEnroe manages to stay in shape, we may have a new champion.
You will defeat him.
How do you know that?
I know and that's it.
Nobody can know that.
I can explode in my next game.
They all act as if this is easy.
"Go there and win. You're a star! You will defeat him. "Very easy.
"It's not easy for either of us. - When's your big game?
If it is so difficult for you, go away.
- Björn ... - Go.
Leave me, too.
Do not think!
I know how you feel, you know?
Sometimes I lost on purpose just to get away
that horrible feeling of the game being to escape me.
When I lost, I went straight to the spa. to vomit.
I could not bear to lose.
It's the same with you.
For you is life or death.
The other boys do not feel the same.
They are not like you. That's why I never They'll be as good as you can be.
But wish him so much, it can also destroy you.
Three quarter-final in Wimbledon ... No other Swede could.
In 1948, I could have won that bagpipe.
Then I lost the first set. And the second...
I could not control my mind.
I should have switched off,
but I did not.
This Saturday, I will let you face or Onny Parun,
with a condition. "I'm not going to apologize.
You do not have to ask.
But you have to promise me one thing...
Where's Björn?
Promise me that you will never return to show a single emotion.
Be like a pressure cooker and blocks everything else.
It simply does not exist.
All that anger,
fear and panic you feel within you,
unloads on each move,
on each right, on each left,
on each stroke.
Do you understand?
In Saturday's game there will be 5 sets.
It will be a single point.
One point at a time.
One point at a time, Björn.
But if you lose your mind and begin to pout,
will be the end of the line.
Very well.
Here inside...
Björn Borg, after defeating Onny Parun, you're conquering the world.
You're a heartbreaker and the girls English run after you.
- Has this been a problem? - Maybe a little...
The tennis world has never seen nothing like this!
But, Björn, what happens if you stop winning?
This will not happen.
- Are not you going to get tired of all the hustle and bustle? - No.
Or to repeat this battle of will and nerves, day after day?
Do not.
- Do you want this? - Yes.
"Is this your life?" - Yes, this is my life.
1974 Björn wins the first Open of France. The youngest tennis player ever.
Concentrate!
I love this! Such as? Would you like a bottle of champagne?
Of course.
Let's get the champagne!
- He sent you away? "No, you're asleep."
What are you writing? Poetry?
A book.
My wedding gift for Björn.
I was going to have a drink. You need it, too.
Must be the first time I see him. in a hotel room, without rackets.
Remember my first meeting with Björn?
He saw you play. at the French Open.
He called me from the hotel room. It looked like I was reading ...
a script out loud.
He invited me out and ...
I hoped it was just the two of us, but so were you.
He was so nervous.
It was fun.
When do we stop having fun?
They've been running out of it for five years. There is no middle ground for Björn.
A 2nd or 3rd place is the same than 12º or 1012º. It's the same for him.
When he starts to lose ...
It's over.
Just in the car, it seemed who had given up on him.
He fired me.
But he does not want to be around, when it falls.
"2/7, 4:30 p.m. I come to watch the semi-final. Dad."
"I think the drinks are ready." "I'm thinking of buying a horse."
- There you go. - That would be exciting, my God!
Tom, two numbers to multiply.
"Any two numbers?" - Yes.
32 times 14.
448.
Now you have to make him perspire.
122 times 46.
5,612.
Very well...
66,322 times 2,198.
You can dance with Debbie Harry.
- You're about 57 years old. - Seriously?
"What the hell do you know about my generation?" - Hello malta.
- Hey, Pete. Such as? - Very enthusiastic.
So ... it's you and me.
John...
Are you ready?
- I'll see you at the court. - See you, John.
Seriously?
Are you still not talking to me?
Where is my support? of the ankle?
What the hell...
Come on, John.
Give me my ankle support.
John?
Please to come this way
FINAL ROOMS
40-15.
John McEnroe is massacring his compatriot, Peter Fleming.
I did not take that off your ankle.
I did not really take it, Pete. I would never do that. Because?
- Fuck you, John. - Shall I fuck you? It's all right. I'm going to fuck off.
What does it matter? I'm going to fuck off. Good.
I already told you, man. I told you, did not I?
"Screw the ankle support, yes?" - Are you finished?
Sit down.
We are fine?
I'm just gonna say this once.
You'll win at Wimbledon.
If it is not this year, it will only be a matter of time.
You'll be Number One.
- I know that. - It's ok.
But you will never be remembered as one of the great. Know why?
John, look at me.
Because nobody likes you.
No kid wants to be like Johnny Mac, when you grow up.
Is it?
Twenty years from now, the only thing what people will say is:
"What was the name of that madman who Was he always yelling at the referee? "
You fucked up my game. I'm your friend.
Excuse me ... Excuse me, fuck!
John McEnroe?
Hello John.
Such as?
Could ask the receptionist not to shout my name,
every time I come here
"Was not he the only one out there?" "Yes, he was the only one out there.
It makes me uncomfortable that she scream my name like that.
I come in here ... irritated.
"We do not want him angry. - Right.
- We want you to feel comfortable. - Thank you.
No problem.
John mentioned "defensive" ...
It's your turn, Father.
- How's the back? - In the same.
He has seen a southpaw, before arriving here.
It's no surprise.
But she did not see you.
We'll win.
Over here, please.
McENROE PROMISES!
- Can we play? - Yes.
If we move forward, we can "outdoors" before the final.
Is not this a bit simplistic? Should not we see John's other side?
REBELS WITH A CAUSE
What we are seeing now is unique.
The tennis players They're like rock stars.
The tabloids are having a day in full with it.
But this rivalry between Borg and John, forces people to ask themselves:

You can not be serious! You can not be serious!
The ball hit the line! Chalk jumped all over the place, man!
The chalk jumped! He saw, that's why he walks to tread it! Everyone saw that it was inside!
It can not be outside.
I'll give you a warning for behavior. unsportsmanlike, Mr. McEnroe.
Borg is not playing a great tennis,
but it comes to win the American head-dresser, Gottfried.
Björn, congratulations on having reached the final.
Now will face either Jimmy Connors or John McEnroe.
How do you respond to the comment? of McEnroe, before the tournament:
"Borg, the machine, will soon break "?
I'm just like anyone, I'm not a machine.
You are the pits of the world.
Keep your mouth shut.
- Keep your mouth shut. - Why do not you stay on your side?
- No one's talking to you. - I'm talking to you.
Shut up! Nobody's talking to you.
You fucking asshole!
If I'm that disgusting, go home!
- Go play tennis! - Shut up! You're going to play tennis by yourself!
John, congratulations on today's victory.
What do you have to say about your behavior?
Can we talk about my tennis?

People talk more about your behavior than on your tennis.
You are certainly doing it.
"But you think it's valid?" - No.
But he is sorry of their behavior?
I'm sorry to sit here and self talk. I only regret this.
Expect someone to cheer you up in the final against Borg?
I understand that they have your hero.
Your gentleman Borg and that they need a villain ...
"Do you think you'll be able to control yourself?" - Let's talk about tennis.
Anyone have questions about tennis?
Do you like being a villain? You think that helps ...
"Do you think you'll be able to control yourself?" "Why do not you shut up, man?"
- Have you seen the games? - Yes, I've seen the games.

You won twice this afternoon, in Wimbledon. How do you feel?
I feel good.
Go away, Labbe.
Breathe.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You're acting like ...
