The showdown we have all been waiting for!
The two tennis gurus DON McEnroe and Björn GNU face each other once again in the ultimate and all-important duel we’ve all been waiting for.
The training has been hard and inhumane, because NOTHING stands higher than the desire to win. With everything from finger knitting to tango wrestling, dirty tricks and the best 80s look, the two rivals fight a nerve-wracking battle to send each other out of bounds. But the question is, what is the victory worth?
