I agree but the point is everyone had to go through it so like even though he’s a tennis legend he shouldn’t have reacted this way

@@cameronlambert5185 passion has ways of derailing human beings.

As if any human can accurately call a ball traveling at 230 km/hr accurately all the time. Even 90% accuracy is good enough. That's why there should be hawkeye for all game but they stick to challenges, it's refusal to change with the times by not using technology

I feel for the umpire having to deal with that abusive little brat.

They made some bad calls too. Even Djoco and Kyrgios seemed a little confused at the end when they had to challenge half the points

@bongo155 Which is why it's very important that they get it right, which is why it IS ridiculous that they called it out when it was so clearly in. Thanks for stating the obvious, Mr genius, but his point was that the most outrageous thing here is the umpire and lineman's incompetence, not McEnroe's reaction

@bongo155 McEnroe was definitely an ass but hes still one of the greats of all time and he was still winning doubles grand slams in his early 30s

@bongo155 I personally wouldnt put edberg and wilander above him but that's a solid list although I assume not in order

@bongo155 Chill dude. Everyone have their own opinions.

i think he regrets some of his behavior.

No not really, I wish they did t cart him to Australia every year, we should be promoting our own champions down under

I don't think his temper got in his way. He somehow needed these outbursts in order to get him on the edge. It made him improve his game, that's why he was so confronting.

It does not matter whether he was good or wrong ! What matters was his attitude towards unfairness and adversity. Take it as a man and move forward ! His attitude was wrong ! We are not God, we cannot control all the ins and outs of everything. Rather than focusing on something he could have never changed, he should have focused on the next point.

@@jean-bricerougeot6761 I totally agree. I think it was on the line, you could see the chalk, and also, he shouldn't have thrown a tantrum. At best, it was too close to call, at worst he was flat out on the wrong side. Either way, he should've behaved himself.

@@jean-bricerougeot6761: Shouldn't one as well stand up for what is right and true? At some certain point, you're just allowing mistreatment, voluntarily capitulating to an unfair situation. I think challenging a human authority over inaccuracy, ignorance, or untruth is far from hubris. In fact, like you suggested, men are not infallible - the same goes for authority. Although, if you mean to say that such a challenge should be more reasonable and respectful, I agree. I disagree that any challenge in of itself is disrespectful (what lack of nuance, if this is the suggestion). _"Rather than focusing on something he could have never changed"_ How dull, chaotic, and worse the world would be if we were to take your definition of "unchangeable". We integrate systems of appeal and review for a reason - _because_ we humans are imperfect.

​@@InternetUsername We are not talking about fighting for freedom, moral, values or democracy here. Let's not mix up meaningless things with meaningful ones. Moral, values and ethics are immovable, there's no arguing about that. And we have the duty to stand for those, so that the nations do not collapse. Here we are talking about an isolated event without any impact on the history of the world. Not arguing about If a player insults a referee pretending the ball is in, it's wrong for multiple reasons: - The player could be wrong, his eyes could deceive him as much as the referee's eyes. - Insulting the referee or trying to put pressure on him is bad. The referee is impartial, he does his best. He only has less than 1 second to decide whether a ball is in or out. And we all know a referee cannot go back on his words after the call has been made. Altogether, it's a waste of energy and puts the player arguing in the wrong state of mind for the rest of the match. The best players in the world very rarely discuss points with the umpire and if they do, they move on very quickly ! and that's why they are the best ! A good player is wise enough to understand a tennis match can't be perfect, there could be mistakes in favour of your opponent or in your favour.

@@jean-bricerougeot6761 From my perspective, the issue is _why_ were these _blatantly erroneous_ calls being made? Multiple calls, mind you. In such a situation, one has to at least entertain the idea of (deliberate) unfairness -- it happens -- and in such a case, one not only has the right to speak up, but it's entirely understandable why one _would._ Should one make any kind of personal remarks? Of course not. But we don't always act the way we should when we're legitimately angry. While I can say that McEnroe _should_ have restrained himself verbally, I don't think that his behavior came anywhere close to approaching anything that I would consider shameful or "cringeworthy".

Did you interject anything to assist Mr. McEnroe?

@@jrousselle7828 No. I was working as a court coverer at this Wimbledon tournament at the time. I think I might have been sacked!

thank you for mentioning it.

@@grahamforster4070 So you are a part of tennis history. How cool is that.

@donald johnson you're not using it in the right context. The definition of "hindsight" is understanding of a situation only after it has happened. If you're referring to the guy who witnessed it first hand with his "perfect vision", there was no "hindsight" at that moment.

He would break it from overuse.

"He would be out of challenges after five minutes" (Ivan Lendl).

Yeah, but hawkeye would've hated it...

funfact the hawkeye is the follwup version of the "Maccam" which was named after him. the system later became the hawkeye but i would have loved to see the original name :)

he would have argued with hawkeye..haha

@@greatsoup2803 it hit the line. that is inbounds. the ref called it out. but it did hit the line, I can see it when i play the video in slow motion, you can see it when the video goes in slow motion in the replay. its obvious he was right. and he also makes a great point - if he didn't hit the line, the chalk wouldn't have shot up and spread like it did, and the judge even acknowledges that with a minblowing reply "it doesnt matter that the the chalk got spread the ball was out".

@Saint Grizzly hahahaha

Me to I remember watching the Mccinroe match live on TV and the ball was on the line and Mccinroe had every right to say YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS MAN YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS.

A very good tennis player (both singles and doubles) and an extremely good match summariser/commentator.

He was commentating at Wimbledon 2022. When a player challenged the umpire and they played the cgi replay McEnroe would say I wish we had them in my day

In aus open 2024 during a delay they replayed it n he cringed 😬 at this but all commentators were laughing. 😂

Doubt that's what his father was thinking.

FireBlade 667 The only really frustrating thing about the situation for me is that, at that time, no amount of arguing could have gotten the point back. The wrong call was made, causing a scene only makes the whole situation worse.

That's Funny!

I had a very positive opinion of him until I watched this.

@@lydialutz The stuffy attitude from the lawn tennis association never helped as they refused to side with the player. If you noticed Mac was a very young man at the time and his frustrations were born out by the constant incorrect line decisions. Today technology is a result of those wrong line calls, in fact we can be thankful to players like Mac for protesting as it has now eradicated unjust line calls.

@@anthonykellman6848 His frustration is definitely understandable. I was frustrated with the call too. And finding a way to protest decisions (respectfully) is important. New technology is a good thing. I see no evidence that McEnroe's approach was what sealed the deal in getting new technology for that. (Most sports have better technology to guide decisions nowadays and I think that probably would have happened with a more subdued McEnroe, too. Though his frustration is understandable and it is good we have new technologies, I find that in no way a justification for his name-calling brute disrespectful way of speaking to an official. I agree with the judge that McEnroe was verbally abusing him. I never knew this about McEnroe until I watched this video and I found it very offputting.

@@lydialutzWe can agree to disagree with the level of abuse directed towards the umpire, but at the end of the day, he'll always be remembered as the rebel with a cause by his generation.😎

HOWEVER this doesnt make these behaviour right and thats all i said. no he isnt right raging like that. also i would argue this guy got a bit too emotional couple of times and not just a few times. idc too much about it but when he loses a match due to it its his fault and he isnt "right". second, how about you stop complaining? or OP does? what kind of argument is this. a guy says he is right when he rages like that, i disagree. end of story. dont tell me to stop talking when you are doing the same

@@BuGGyBoBerl you know what your right. Im sorry, I shouldn’t have told you to be quiet. It’s your freedom of speech, You can speak your opinions. I understand where you are coming from but just don’t get worked up over incidents that we can’t change. Yes it’s upsetting or triggering to watch but don’t get worked up about it because you will just feel more upset. Yeah it’s wrong and I understand but it’s still human. I mean I’ve gone apeshit too, plenty of times but I apologize and accept my actions. But social media creates a world where people dont let things go and judge or bully a person by sending cruel messages or death threats over an incident that happened before we were born or an incident were the person already apologised for.. I’m sorry I came out rude I realised I was judging you too, so I’m a hypocrite and I’m sorry.. Have a good day and my apologies

@Gumshoe Beaumont Nah, there's a reason Tennis is one of the few* sports where the women draws a similar crowd as men, due to womens tennis being more entertaining due to less serve aces and longer plays. *Beach Volley doesn't count, the crowd aren't there to admire the beautiful play (but rather the beautiful players).

@Tuco The Rat see earlier comment regarding beach volley. Also, only the ball will bounce.

@Tuco The Rat That was the point of my comment on how it was one of the few sports where there is actually enough interest in the womens side of the sport to actually draw a significant crowd. The same crowd? No. But a match between top-10 female tennis players will draw a bigger crowd than a match between two male players were neither is ranked in the top-50.

@Tuco The Rat Completely true; I miss Anna Kournikova; all we have now are maybe Pliskova and Azarenka (at least for my taste). But serve and volley needs to come back for tennis to be exciting again imo.

@Tuco The Rat I didn't say two top 50 men, I said a match were neither were in the top-50. In most other sports, a final in the top womens division have a hard time matching the crowd for a normal league game for males who aren't even in the top division. Football, Hockey etc.
