This is not a sports movie

Rating: 2/10 (19 June 2020)

Even though Tennis is the backdrop for everything that happens in the movie, the viewers immersion is shattered when the movies expects you to believe an aging British player who regulary has sex and consistantly drinks alcohol between matches is a real contender to win the Wimbledon tennis grandslam. Makes a mockery of all the real professionals such as Federer who is mentioned in the film and all other professional tennis players that take their profession seriously and train like professionals (abstaining from sex, alcohol) and the myriad of sacrifices in order to be number 1.
The writers of the film obviously have no experience at all in the world of a professional sports person, which just about makes it fine as this film is essentially another romance flick with a heavy dose of Englishness and all that is to be expected from such.
Watchable if highly unrealistic and cliche film.
