John McEnroe Answers Tennis Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED
Tennis great John McEnroe uses the power of Twitter to answer common questions about the sport of tennis. Why are tennis players always getting so dang upset? Whose the hardest opponent McEnroe ever faced? Why has serve and volley become extinct in tennis? Why do doubles players congratulate each other even when losing? John answers…

My all time favorite player to watch. I loved tennis in the 70’s, when you had such idiosyncratic players as Mac, Borg, Connors, Lendl. Borg and Lendl’s style pretty much won out, because nobody can play like John or Jimmy.

You don’t have to approve of it, and we certainly don’t have to agree with him… BUT you GOTTA respect John McEnroe’s spirit and his passion for the game. He says it like it is, on and off the court, and… well… I’d argue his occasional tirades were EXACTLY what put butts in seats in the day… just as much as his skills and talents. ;o)

For McEnroe he was one of the very few players that could get angry or throw a fit and still be able to win the game. The thing is once you lose or start losing in tennis you aren’t thinking clearly so obviously you are going to make more mistakes. John was the exception to that he sometimes even played better when he was angry.

McEnroe is a truth teller who speaks his mind, not just to provoke, but rather to answer questions with truth despite pressure to dumb down his answers.
Respect for not backing down in stating the fact that Serena Williams could not beat a good male tennis pro.

Don’t know if you will ever read this, but i started playing when you were fighting Borg. I was always impressed by your Davis Cup participation. Felt you greatest rival was Lendl. Always wanted to volley like you and hit ground strokes like Vilas and Lendl. I was always pulling for you.
I know you have a legion of fans of which I am one. Good luck!

Because not only do they not fly as fast, but not every part of the ball dies equally. Some parts you can hit as hard as you want and get nothing off of it, others will send the ball flying. That and at the highest level balls will deform slightly too

Is he not watching much tennis? Plenty of current players that throw tantrums, not just Kyrgios, Dimitrov and Tsitsipas and Zverev all throw tantrums, Djokovic defaulted a match 2 years ago for hitting a lineswoman, and that’s not even mentioning multiple Serena Williams outbursts, doesn’t mean they don’t still win

6:45 – Racquets can be restrung that quickly? I don’t play tennis, but it seems like a whole thing. Not just getting the string (cord? It’s “restrung” so it’s got to be “string” right?) through the holes and woven but also getting the tension right. Isn’t that kind of a lot?
Point of order, if I may: I think women who play tennis prefer to be called women, not girls. Not trying to speak on anyone’s behalf, as here on YouTube anyone can speak for themselves. But there’s a general linguistic shift in English-speaking regions where “women” is the female equivalent to the male “men” or “guys”, while the word “girls” is narrowing its scope to the age range of what we’d call “boys” on the other side. So it’s not “girls’ tennis” unless the men are cool with “boys’ tennis”.

Big fan of JM since he came on the scene as a player. I’m a Raider fan and somehow John brought out that me against the world mentality that I identify as a person and Raider fan. Translate that to tennis and I hung on to every point watching John and that started me playing tennis now for 40 years and still going. Old tennis players are now picking up pickle ball because they cannot move as well but I’m still playing tennis in my 60s. Beer has been a great source of reliving my glory days. Pickleball, maybe one day if my partner is attractive. Lol. Love this content for John. One of the greatest to play and THE GOAT in men’s doubles. I’d love to see a pro tennis tournament with only wood racquets allowed. 🎾🎾

The picking ball explanation is wrong actually… you want to pick the ball with the least amount of felt for first serve so that it goes faster through the air, and the ball with the most felt for second serve as those are better for curves. Thought he would know that…

Seems like the next generation players are trying to maintain Rafa’s manners of not smashing a racket. You see a lot of them trying to do it but stop. But like John said, there’s nothing wrong with showing emotion, smashing or not smashing a racket neither makes you a good guy nor bad guy. Tennis is a mentally demanding and challenging sport, I don’t see anything wrong with showing emotion on court

Endlessly entertaining. John McEnroe has completely won me over through the years. He’s the man.

Thank you, Mr. McEnroe. It was a pleasure to meet you and shake your hand back in 2016.

I like you a lot, Johnny Mac. But you just called the women’s side “the girl’s side” (while answering the first question). You can’t be serious?! Do not play into the belittling of women by calling them girls. It’s a slip that women hear and contributes to many feeling les than. You would NEVER say “boys” instead of men. So don’t do it to women.

Another “girls” reference at 6:48!! I’m glad you think they’re so diminutive and fragile…

Hearing this man talk is like watching that James Acaster’ bit. He… OR SHE.

Hahaha! John is great! If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, at least watch this take….it’s hilarious 5:16 . The last part about “you just hit the ball in the bottom of the net” had me rolling 5:43! 😂

I would like to ask him two questions: are you disgusted with the current state of American tennis. Two, you played a lot of Davis cCp and Doubles: if you had single handedly focused on your Singles career…could you have won more Titles, and did that loss to Lendl at the French destroy you as a human being, which also denied you a Grand Slam on Clay….lastly like Agassi who got distracted with Brooke and the glamourous life did Tatum ruin you?

Enjoyed it. Hi five after every point lost or won is ridiculous. Now if your partner hits an exceptional shot, show a little love.

4:00 I would put racket and string technology ahead of the improvements in the surfaces. Players can hit the ball so hard with so much spin now that it makes it very difficult to volley.

I get it. I only ever really competed in track and field, but there were still plenty of moments where I would’ve smashed a tennis racket into the ground if one were available.

Johnny Mac is the quintessential tennis meltdowner, _but_ he was usually in the right.

Mac is always listenable – EXCEPT when videos like this edit-out breaks between his sentences. That is just too much Mac!!!

John Mcenroe is the same in tennis as a pundit as Roy Keane is in Soccer. Not afraid to speak is mind and be authentic. Both legends
