John McEnroe-Cannot Be Serious

The Story

John McEnroe Young

John McEnroe was one of my idols when I was young. When he won Wimbledon I was twelve years old. Any rebel without a real cause had my support. My parents however hated the screaming American, although born in Wiesbaden Germany. The ideal son in law was Bjorn Borg, but….boring! At the age of twelve you want people who stand up against authority, and John did that to almost every referee at the time. He almost got suspended, but like me in secondary school, he barely managed to stay in. My motto in life has almost stayed You Cannot Be Serious!

John McEnroe Old

Now, in 2021, McEnroe is one of the most elaborate and thoughtfull tennis commentators around. On TV he shows every time he knows what tennis and life is about. What a development this man has made. Fortunately he did not lose his temperament and is honest and open in his opinions. A real maverick that stayed close to his own personality. More and more he devloped himself towards his own quote: `My greatest strength is that I have no weaknesses`
