McEnroe is an excellent commentator on everything. I could listen to him talk about anything.

@jm7804 Год назад

Yes. I love love to have a dinner or coffee with him.

@emitorlasco3019 Год назад

I feel the same way lmao

@crispereira2020 Год назад

There’s a documentary on Crave called McEnroe if you haven’t seen it you’re missing out because it’s excellent

@DariusSarrafi Год назад

I used to literally hate MacEnroe all the way back in college. But now he's one of my favorite commentators. He has the courage of conviction and says it like he sees it. In this corporate-dominated world of ours, that's a rare thing to see.

@johnchoi2901 Год назад

I would love to see John break down scenes of Prince of Tennis. I'd love to see him tear the series up over how exaggerated and ridiculous it is at times haha

Mr. McEnroe commentary on all things tennis is fascinating. #Thanks

Yes, loved his appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm as well.

i thought the thumbnail was him when he was younger and was about to comment that’s he looked exactly like Shia Leboeuf 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@j.jmcquade5278 Год назад

Would of loved to hear Johnny Mac's thoughts on the Vitas Gerulaitis scene in Borg vs McEnroe. Out of the entire movie, that scene was spot on. Looked and felt just like Vitas.

@pihermoso11 Год назад

One of my favourite tennis players, the man had total control of his emotions, the one and only John McEnroe

@curtconroy8789 Год назад

McEnroe is endlessly fascinating.

@thaothao26 Год назад

McEnroe could provide commentary on almost anything and be still interesting to listen to.

@overdrive_tennis Год назад

I always enjoy listening to McEnroe. Great video

@johnmarano6588 Год назад

I was 10 when Mac played Borg and I always routed for Borg, now as an adult I realized how brilliant Mac was also!

Bjorn Borg drives a Saab. That ad campaign is burned into my soul, somehow.

@ehlava7331 8 месяцев назад

As a Johnny Mac fan and a lifelong tennis player who started with a Jack Kramer racket, I have to say the Baumer breakdown at Windswept fields is by the far the best tennis scene ever. Hilarious.

@juanjogarcia7368 6 месяцев назад

Jack Kramer raquet!! What a begginers classic!! I began with an aluminium junior Dunlop. I was in love with that raquet. I put it inside my bed as a child and slept with her

Jonnie Mac rambles, people. That’s what he does. Personally I can listen to him ramble all day.

fantastic commentary by John McEnroe. The best in Tennis!

Recently saw Johnny Mac at the Laver Cup. What a swell fella

@MarcAmAlb Год назад

I love John McEnroe! I loved him as a player and I love him as a commentator.

@bclone905 Год назад

It would've been cool to see him critique Alfred Hitchcock's 'Strangers On A Train'. Lengthy tennis scene in that one.

McEnroe transcends Tennis the same way Charles Barkley transcends Basketball just a very likable guy, very honest.

MacEnroe's legs and arms were like twigs

@acelive7 Год назад

What about "The Break" 1995 movie? Although it's old, I was expecting his professional expertise on that one. This movie illustrates the important process of tennis tour in America, which young talents go through before reaching the bigger stages of competition.

@stevephlyer Год назад

Wonderfully said Mr. McEnroe.

@notta3d 9 месяцев назад

You might not like what he says or how he says it but McEnroe always tells it the way it is. Such respect for the guy.

@StalkaztheStallion Год назад

I'd be curious to hear his take on the Hitchcock film "Strangers on a Train" and the tennis scene there.

@ryanmathewfriedman Год назад

Imagine being on a plane and seeing John McEnroe watching Borg vs. McEnroe.... awkward, lol

@drestarman Год назад

not awkward but fascinating. I would ask him the questions he already answered. How realistic/accurate was Borg vs McEnroe? did they portray tennis in a favourable light, did u like the movie? did it 💔 Ng back happy memories? And u absolutely rock, keep doing tennis commentary.

The best tennis movie ever I think was Players with Dean Paul Martin and Ali McGraw. Tennis was superb because Dean was an actual pro.

@9:00, notice he caught himself saying Serena Williams is the greatest athlete, then correctly corrected himself to add greatest female athlete. Hahahaha.

@carlodave9 Год назад

No 3-set match should have a bathroom break. It's turned into a scourge for the game and for fans. Maybe a 5-setter you can be allowed 3 minutes IF you're willing to give up a trainer break.

@maddymud Год назад

I was so hoping he would comment on Tennenbaum tennis, but was bummed he took it so literally and didn’t understand it’s just making it extreme so you can feel the metaphor and the emotion of when you’re having a melt down.

@lynnturman8157 Год назад

yeah, I wouldn't call Royal Tennenbaums a tennis movie. One character is a tennis player & there's a total of about 30 seconds of him playing tennis. But hey, there's not that many tennis movies so I guess we gotta include it.

@maddymud Год назад

@@lynnturman8157 - agreed that it’s not a tennis movie per se, but that scene is one of the all time great tennis scenes.

No matter what it’s all about him. A whole movie about the Williams sisters? Let’s talk about the 5 seconds where he appears and how he feels wronged.

@Heraclitean Год назад

I thought McEnroe had a better sense of humor. How do you not take Royal Tenenbaums for the comedy it is.

@maddymud Год назад

He’s just so literal when it comes to sport, his art collection isn’t that way. I don’t get it either - that scene nails what it feels like to me when I have had a break down on the court.

@sophieoshaughnessy9469 Год назад

No john. It was like that. I was there. He was a god and you weee a punk. Just a super talented skinny punk:)

@penoyer79 Год назад

at the end of the day it is just a movie. it's never going to be an exact replica. what it should be is entertaining, first and foremost. What i think is important is that they capture the SPIRIT of what it is they are portraying. and i think the movie did a good job with that.

@hangarby10 7 дней назад

Mac should have just played himself in this movie. He still has the athletic ability and with AI/CGI technology, he could age 'younger.'

Does McEnroe not know that they use body doubles for the actual tennis playing in most movies?

Roger Federer can be played by Joaquin phoenix, the guy that played emperor in the movie 'Gladiator' ,look up the last fight scene in the movie 'Gladiator' if you're not convinced..

@lavanyasalagrama7339 Год назад

Did he even break down the tennis scenes in these movies? All I heard was McEnroe talk about John McEnroe. He was an immensely talented champion, but he was and still is full of himself.

@TheDude7753 Год назад

Bathroom break omg! It should not be allowed, absolutely. Imagine in boxing a bathroom break? 🚽👀

@philipperiand1045 Год назад

John, I would love your opinion on the 5th set, which is recent French movie. Maybe the end is not so realistic, but the whole story looks real, and emphasizes on the 'anonymous' players. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mr2iOLwo080.html
