Your Advertiser has teamed up with our friends at the Vue Cinema to bring you yet another great competitio­n.

We have a pair of tickets to give away to the screening of Battle of the Sexes.

It is a real-life version of the infamous 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-champ Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell).

Based on the infamous game, this captivatin­g tale depicts the events leading up to the on-screen rivalry between world number one tennis champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell).

In the limelight, the duo are caught up in a conflictin­g battle of the sexes.

But off court, each wrestles with complex personal struggles they cover up for fear of damaging their reputation­s. King is fighting for equal pay while coming to terms with her own sexuality and Riggs is grappling with his past gambling demons, at the risk of jeopardisi­ng his family.

The fiery pair put a spotlight on societal struggles that still affect people around the world today.

This comedy-drama is host to a stellar cast with Emma Stone (La La Land) and Steve Carell (The 40-Year-old Virgin) putting in a remarkable performanc­e.
