This article is for John McEnroe fans!!!! I'm sure most here does not know who Johnny Mac is?

Grew up playing against John McEnroe & it fueled my love for the game, and made me a very intense tennis player. I'm "only" about a 4.5 player, but I've gotten a reputation of someone who always gives it everything & never quits. Grew up in a situation where that just wasn't done. The amazing thing about John McEnroe is that unlike a lot of serve & volley players, he wasn't really overpowering. He had great footwork & great hands at the net as well as great shot placement. I always found it a great challenge to play him and a great pleasure to watch him play someone else. As intense as he is on the court, he's thoughtful & pleasant most of the time he's off the court. Wish I could go see him at Naples, but probably won't be able to make it.
