Legendary tennis star John McEnroe will undoubtedly go up against his toughest opponent this week – himself.

Michelob ULTRA invited the four-time U.S. Open champion to "celebrate his joy" and to look back at his career accomplishments. McEnroe will go head-to-head against five different versions of himself – in 1979 when he won his first Grand Slam title, becoming the world’s No. 1 tennis star in 1981, excelling as a tennis player in 1982, arguably his best year ever in 1984 and his final year on the ATP in 1992.

The match will pair technology and artificial intelligence to share McEnroe’s personal journey to becoming one of the best tennis players of all time.

"It’s awesome because it sort of gives me a chance to have my cake and eat it too. I sort of get to be involved in something, obviously not getting any younger, and sort of do something that’s like way beyond what I can even imagine technologically because I’m sort of like a dinosaur in that regard," he told Fox News Digital ahead of the one-on-one matchup.

"This whole A.I. thing, me playing against myself, I get to look back and sort of play against myself – almost all of my best years – and then sort of see how this is put together and how this can work. I’m sitting there going, how the hell is this going to work? But I think I was very into it because I was like, if this works, this is going to look amazing. I’m leaving it up to the experts, the techno whizzes that are involved in this event that’s going to take place. I’m excited."
