 John McEnroe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McEnroe first took the tennis world by storm in 1977 when, at the age of 18, he made it through the qualifying tournament into the main draw at Wimbledon, and then proceeded to make it all the way to the semi-finals where he eventually lost in four sets to Jimmy Connors.
More than any other player in his era, McEnroe was responsible for reviving American interest in the Davis Cup, which had been shunned by Connors and other leading US players.
Many players and tennis experts agree that McEnroe's level of play is still high enough for him to compete on the professional level.

 Not PC: Chris Lewis: Tall Poppy
Chris is a wonderful sportsman and a tremendous human being, and his departure for California leaves me angry at his treatment here at home.
Chris has been at odds with New Zealand Tennis's 'coach-by-numbers' mentality since his arrival back in NZ over ten years ago to begin coaching junior tennis players.
If a player is to become the best he can be, he must dedicate himself from a relatively early age to the single-minded pursuit of his tennis career.

Scooping the ball (which had clearly bounced twice), over his opponent's head, the Australian player continued to treat the point as if it were still "live".
Therefore, I would explain to any young tennis player who has just lost to a cheat, and who, as a consequence, mistakenly thinks that cheats do prosper, that nothing could be further from the truth.
