Borg McEnroe Page #3

---

If we set up with a 15-year-old

against, for example, Onny Parun.

It would hear the whole world,

even if he had to lose.

The youngest Davis

Cup -player ever.

- Mats, he's a kid.

- He is 15 years old.

I do not set a 15-year-old to

play against World No. 20.

Then I have to find someone who will do it.

Skide be with the fine.

My dad only quits protest.

But nice that you kept you

awake throughout the game.

- You won. Smile now a little bit

- Hold your fat jaw.

0 - 40.

THIRD ROUND CARE against FRAWLEY.

This is not going to happen.

Can not we get the game exposed?

Exposed? We are at Center

Court and are sold out.

Bear...

Go out and talk to them.

Talk to them.

- Bear...

- Talk to them, I say!

It will clear up.

They do not cancel the match.

Here, it's damp in the weather.

Have you talked to them?

You know, I do not have.

Bear...

It does not help.

Into the sh*t.

- Out.

- It was on the line!

- Next ball.

- You want him to win!

- Out.

What the hell are you doing?

Next ball.

- Out.

What the hell?

- Pick it up.

- You are cheating!

- Pick it up.

- Put me in the ass, old fool!

Pick it up, I said!

You are about to retrieve the form.

How difficult can it

be to iron a chain?

- The string does not matter.

- Yes. I can feel that bad.

The chainsets do not fail

and you know that too.

It's all this celebrity cookie.

Showcases and sponsorships.

- You just have to play tennis...

- Shut up.

Just hold your jaw and tighten

the chainsaw properly.

- If I'm so bad, then piss me off.

- Okay.

- Are you serious?

- Guff, it's my seriousness.

- What do you want to do now?

- What do you want to do?

Sit at home and wrap your

three rotten quarterfinals?

Arthur, what does Borg think now

after this power demonstration?

If McEnroe keeps on, we

might have a new champion.

You're gonna beat him.

How do you know that?

I only know that.

There is nobody who knows.

I can smoke in the next game.

It's as if everyone

thinks this is easy.

In the sh*t, Bjrn. You are a star.

You can easily beat him.

"It's not easy for any of us.

- Should you play a match?

If it's so hard for

you, then turn it off.

- Bear...

- Yes.

You're just skipping.

You do not have to think.

You do not have to think.

I know how it feels.

I sometimes felt as if

I lost intentionally -

- to escape the nasty,

sneaky feeling of

- I had lost control

of the game.

And when I had lost, I often went

to the locker room and threw up.

I could not bear to lose weight.

And I know you're alike.

To you it is life or death.

It is not for the others.

They are not like you, and therefore

they are never as good as well.

But iron will also be a

result of losing the head.

As the only Swede I have played

three quarterfinals in Wimbledon.

In 1948 I could have

won the whole sh*t.

But then I lost the first set.

And the other.

I could not get my head off.

I should have shut off, -

- but I did not.

On Saturday I will play

you against Onny Parun.

- On one condition.

- I'm not sorry.

You do not have to.

But you must promise me one thing.

Where is Bjrn?

You must promise me that you never

again show a single feeling.

You must be like a pressure cooker.

Give the hell in everything around you.

And all that anger and horror...

and panic that you feel...

you must put it in the battles.

In every front and back.

In every single stroke.

Are you following?

The match on Saturday will

not be five sets for you.

It will be just one ball.

One ball at a time.

One ball at a time, Bjrn.

But if you lose your head

and start creating you,

- then we drop the whole sh*t.

Then you can stay in Sdertlje.

In here.

Bear, after your victory over Onny Parun,

you have taken the world by storm.

You have become an idol of the girls

who actually make up for you.

Is it a problem?

A little maybe.

The tennis world has never

experienced anything like that.

- What if your career goes into the sink?

- I do not think it does.

You do not think you get tired of

all the travel and the training?

To push will and nerves every

day over and over again?

- No.

- You want this.

- It's your life?

- Yes, that's my life.

In 1974 Bjrn won the French

Open as the youngest ever.

Into the sh*t.

In 1976, Bjrn wins Wimbledon

as the youngest ever.

Are you okay?

Do you want a bottle of champagne?

Bring some champagne!

- Has he thrown you out?

- No, he's asleep.

- Are you writing poems?

- A book.

My wedding gift to Bjrn.

I'm taking a shot.

You also need one.

It's the first time I'm in here

without it floating with kettles.

Can you remember my and

Bjrn's first date?

He had seen you play

in the French Open.

He called me from

the hotel room, -

- and I thought he read

off a piece of paper.

Then he invited me out.

I thought it would be him and

me, but then you sat there.

He was so nervous.

Yes, that was fun.

When did we stop having fun?

They slid him up.

For Bjrn there is no middle way.

Being number two or three is

for him to be number shock.

Does he start losing...

then it's over.

It felt like you gave

him up in the car.

It was him who fired me.

But you will not be

there when he falls.

Come and see the semifinals.

Sheep.

Here you go.

Tom, come with a gangster.

- Any one?

- Yes.

32 times 14.

- 448.

- Give him a challenge now.

122 times 46.

Okay.

66,322 times 2,198.

Can you dance to Debbie Harry?

- You are 57 years old. You do not understand anything.

Hello boys

- Hi, Pete. Is everything well?

- Yes, I'm excited.

Then you and me.

John? Are you ready?

- See you out there.

- Frankly...

Do not you still want to talk to me?

Where is my ankle joint now?

What the hell?

Come on, John.

Give me my ankle joint.

John...

This way, gentlemen.

QUARTERLY MCENROE vs. FLEMING

40 -15.

John McEnroe slaughter his

countryman Peter Fleming.

I have not taken your ankle joint.

I could never think of doing that.

- Go to hell, John.

- Nice, I'm going. Fine.

See, I said so.

Did not I say that?

Get rid of the ankle tie.

Sit.

Are we friends?

I say it only once.

You are going to win Wimbledon.

If it does not happen this year,

it's only a matter of time.

You will be number one.

I know.

But you will never be remembered as

one of the biggest. Do you know why?

John, look at me.

Because nobody cares about you.

There are no boys out there who

will be you when they grow up.

Aha?

20 years in the future, people

will only say one thing:

Who was him kidding, who

always scolded the referee?

You destroyed my game.

I'm your friend.

Tell him now sorry.

John McEnroe.

Hello John. All is well?

Could you ask the receptionist

not to shout my name forever?

- Was not you the only one out there?

- Yes.

And it bothered me that she shouts my name.

It makes me annoyed.

Yes, we will not annoy you.

You should feel comfortable.

Last, you used the word 'defensive'...

It's your move, dad.

How's your back?

As usual.
