Nasty

1972. Ilie Nastase wins his first US Open, while reaching both the Wimbledon and Davis Cup finals, and enters tennis history. NASTYexplores his highs and lows, the controversies that surrounded the 1973 world number one ranked player, and the enduring impact he has had on the world of tennis. Lovable, charming and generous, yet temperamental, arrogant and obscene – Nastase disrupted the sport’s antiquated etiquette with a great sense of showmanship on the court,and became its first rebel rock star.
