London, Aug.31 : They dominated world tennis in the late 1970s and for most of the 1980s. Now, tennis legends John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg will be fighting over shopping rather than silverware by starring in an advertising campaign for Tesco.
According to The Daily Mail, the commercial will see the legendary pair competing to finish their shopping in the fastest time, promoting the supermarket chain's "one in front" policy, which sees an extra checkout opened when more than one customer is waiting at the till.
In the 50-second commerical the duelling duo race to pile up their trolleys with products so they can reach the checkout first.
McEnroe arrives at the till first, but as he celebrates his great rival slips into a till that opens beside him so that he doesn't need to queue.
