The Williams sisters’ success story is so compelling that it constantly piques the interest of filmmakers. In 2013, a documentary with the simple title “Venus and Serena” was released, in which the girls themselves talk about their journey. Their father, other famous tennis players and even Anna Wintour, an avid fan of their talent, also appear in the frame.
While the previous films dealt with real people connected with the world of tennis, the romantic comedy “Wimbledon” is a fictional story about the tennis player Peter Colt, who used to be the 11th racquet of the world, but now is not active, teaches in a tennis club and has given up his championship ambitions. However, he receives an invitation from the Wimbledon tournament and it turns his life upside down. At the same time, there is a strong romantic line in the film, because great love can inspire the greatest victories.
The 2017 Toronto Film Festival premiered the biographical story “Borg/Mackinroy,” which tells the story of the famous match in the 1980 Wimbledon final between John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. The film is often described as a psychological thriller, with Shania Labaf and Sverrir Gudnason in the lead roles that draw applause.
