[@mddistribution30]

That was his loss to Kevin Curren in 85 in the quarters

@ST-xg3gy no it was the quarters!

[@petersmith9785]

Is that John Barrett calling the game? He used to call the action here in Australia with Channel Seven every summer for a number of years!!

[@bobmalack481]

Johns downfall in the mid 80's..getting mixed up with Tatum O'Neal and dabbling with playing guitar as a would be Rock musician. All of this slide at at only 26..whuda waste..Mac should of gotten at least a few more majors if he stayed away from the celebrity trappings..Robert at 68.

[@jeffstell9146]

Crazy to think that when you watch him steamroll Lendl in the 1984 U.S. Open final to cap off a year that he was almost unbeatable, it would be his last Slam victory

The most sublime tennis player who ever lived.

When I first seen him play I thought he's brilliant but I hated his attitude, now many many years later I love the guy, nd I met him once nd Wimbledon love him ❤️

MC enroe was Always right in his arguments.

[@Jeremy-f3s]

No he bloody wasn't. Just cos you kick up a fuss all the time doesn't mean you're automatically always right.

[@mettacitta2000]

@@Jeremy-f3s Actually if you study each call and situation he was right

[@Jeremy-f3s]

@@mettacitta2000 I have done, and no, he most certainly wasn't. He threw alot of tantrums in his career and you're a fool to generalise cos many times he was just being an arse.

[@Jeremy-f3s]

@@haroldsmyth6685 what doesn't end well? Him being an arse? No it doesn't tend to end well cos disputing line calls constantly never does cos then you just get a reputation as a trouble maker and umpires become wary of you and your chances of being penalised increase. I rarely question rules cos I've done that and it goes nowhere, you go through all the arguments and still the rule remains so what's the point, you may as well accept it and move on. The players that don't just drag themselves down.

Plats as well ayman Bering Gould so today

[@weyman4317]

Now that McEnroe is in his sixties he must look back at this and think what an idiot he was.I wonder what he would commentate on something like this today without being a hypocrite. I think it was gamesmanship.

[@markwoods6475]

Most of the time he was right and had the balls to call out bad calls! And surprise surprise now we have hawk eye and other tools because they get so many calls wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@gs1100ed]

@@markwoods6475very irritating how the announcers don’t give him any credit

What a spoiled brat.

[@fjccommish]

1:39 A player must not be allowed to question a bad call?

[@jeffreymacintyre2711]

99% of the time, mac was right

[@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415]

Very traumatize person who lost it peaked at 25 His technique was never sound and he cheated when he was losing Never did it against Borg. Still great entertainment Miss it as a coach Today they take PEDs an open secret

[@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415]

His game was based on instinct When his game fell apart and his mind with weed He could not get it back,,, spoilt, rich kid from rich parents He knew he was getting beat so played the gamesmanship card ,,, Cheating little boy
