Borg vs. McEnroe - The Tennis Podcast movie review

The movie Borg vs McEnroe has been out in cinemas around the UK over the past week, and the Tennis Podcast team have reviewed it in the latest show. 

How many stars (out of 5) did presenters Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport) give it? How close was the film’s depiction of the pair, and what happened between them, to reality? And what were the nature of McEnroe’s objections to the film? David Law has been finding out.

The ropey form of Johanna Konta has taken a more severe turn with her fifth successive loss, the latest of which saw her go down 1-6, 2-6, and she is now clinging on to the 8th and final qualification spot in the WTA Finals by her fingertips. Will she make it? What’s happened to her form? Is this a blip, or a full-blown crisis?

There are blasts from the past with 30-something Grand Slam finalists Vera Zvonereva and Marcos Baghdatis, who are both back and making waves, Caroline Garcia and Ash Barty who fought out a classic title-decider in Wuhan, David Goffin, who won his first title in more than three years.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by broadcasters Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport, BBC 5 Live) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport). It is produced weekly throughout the year, and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments, in association with Telegraph Sport and Eurosport. www.TheTennisPodcast.net
