7 DAYS IN HELL - A 7 Days & 5 Sets Tennis Nightmare


7 DAYS IN HELL (2015)
(a mockumentary)



This Hotstar feature is as looney as it gets. Inspired by Mahaut vs Isner Wimbldeon marathon, this mockumentary focuses on two fictional tennis players who end up playing a 7 day-5 setter first round Championships match. The last set is delicately poised at 103-102 when both the players hit each others’ heads with rackets and die on the court itself.
It takes potshots at everything Wimbledon is known for. From Agassi’s wigs, to streakers running on courts , Royal Family and wild cards, fifth set possibilities and rain delays and almost everything related to tennis that come to your mind.
In the past few years, roofs have made entry at the SW 19. The last set now has tiebreakers. Wimbledon final this year, and Isner- Anderson semifinal last year had the potential to reach lunatic proportions but mercifully , Gods intervened.
This is a must watch 40 minute mockumentary for tennis fans.
