Overview
You cannot be serious! The grudge match of the 80s, Borg v McEnroe, is taken to extremes in this animated conflict
Borg versus McEnroe. Fire versus Ice. The iconic grudge match of the early 80s proves the perfect vehicle for this escalating tale of rivalry taken to extremes. What starts as a mix of lawn tennis and Looney Tunes becomes a stark comment on a needless arms race.
