The very first image of Shia LaBeouf and Sverrir Gudnason in the forthcoming tennis biopic Borg/McEnroe has found its way online. LaBeouf plays John McEnroe and Gudnason plays the role of Bjorn Borg in the film which revolves around the 1980 Wimbledon final.

The match between McEnroe and Borg is widely deemed to be one of the greatest ever played – a five-set stunner that captivated audiences on Centre Court and around the world on live television.

The film, directed by Janus Metz Pedersen, features a stellar cast that also includes Stellan Skarsgård as Swedish tennis player and coach Lennart Bergelin, Robert Emms as Vitas Gerulaitis and Tuva Novotny as Romanian tennis player, and ex-wife to Borg, Mariana Simionescu.

Both LaBeouf and Gudnason, along with their co-stars were snapped at a press conference in Sweden just yesterday where shooting continues.

The film will be released in 2017.
