The red carpet drew an impressive guest list from the worlds of sport, fashion and entertainment, confirming that the story of one of the greatest tennis players of all time transcends the boundaries of sport.
Guests included legendary boxer Mike Tyson, football icons Zlatan Ibrahimović, Cafu and Roberto Carlos, as well as FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Tennis legends John McEnroe and Juan Martín del Potro, Serbian national basketball team captain Bogdan Bogdanović and longtime editor-in-chief of American Vogue Anna Wintour also attended the premiere, giving the event a strong fashion dimension.
