John McEnroe 1990 Australian Open

[GmanGregilla]

One would expect that he'd have known this, at the time, recent alteration in the rules, considering that he was the particular one who always tempted them, seemingly next-to-carelessly. Then again, maybe he didn't realize this at that particular point in time.

Or, maybe he wasn't expecting a penalty against based on his verbiage to that umpire, and/or didn't care about it enough at that particular point in time.

such a legend



[gobacktoschoolmoron]

You'd think the aussie bastard would have been use to hearing that sort of shit. Afterall, the aussies are the most vile people known to man.

[coughcool72]

@gobacktoschoolmoron maybe you and faddleonlsd need to get together :)

[thegunner1984]

@gobacktoschoolmoron i think you need to go back to school and learn some more.... bitch

[Nigelxman]

Thanks so much for sharing that Fadd. What a contribution to humanity you are.

[FaddleonLSD]

I'd fuck him up the arse if he wasn't a Yank.

[jmminu]

No, if you're a line judge you're supposed to just do your job, like a machine, like the eye hawk. You're not there to make things a personal matter. That's reserved for players, and they should be allowed, because they play for millions, glory, ranking points, and all the fans. At best a line judge could have a little sense of humor and diffuse the situation. But for that you have to be able to detach from your ego and be a little sensible than a beast.

[tlp26atx]

you woudn't have done adamn thing. fuck off

[WanderingSplit]

LEGEND!!

[brandonhj]

[andy3576]

Mac's last real chance to win a big one, except for the 1992 Wimbledon, which he should have won.

[acorntechnique]

.....But didnt - Thankfully

[davidstmckenn]

Spoken like a true asshole

[davidstmckenn]

ahahahaha! McEnroe was the King!

[thereeldeel07]

the time and place to say the F-word is not next to the umpire's ear

[stealthpakfa]

menroe was bloody hilarious! i hate umpires and referees of every sport!

[juandi2570]

I love Mc, he was just a bad ass mother fucker.

ivan

[AlexIsUber]

ever seen safin :P

[GoForItDontLayUp]

Are you seriously talking shit about the greatest nation in the world? Low culture are we? Just what i would expect from an AMERICAN. Most of you are fine but you crossed the line buddy!

[juandi2570]

yeah i agree with ya. Go backtoscholldummy crossed the line. I love australia and think a comment like that has to come from a really uneducated dude.

[BiggyBollocks]

How unnecessary is that? Do you know the guy, or are you just another miserable asshole who is an "internet tough guy"?

Your name says a lot about you, miserable and immature lowlife just looking to stir up shit on Youtube. Grow up dude

[Qboy316]

haha. ive seen him talk about this in his later years. it used to be something like warning, point, game, match, but they changed it to warning, point, match.

[tenniscrazy2]

yeah they did

[gsw88888]

I remember this scene. In all honesty, defaulting a tennis player for his verbal abuse is a harsh punishment although Mac surely deserved some lesson. But, if someone says "Go f--- you mother", I would do things beyond defaulting his player eligibility.

[bboyimane]

he made tennis popular:) funni man

[AceGuitarR7]

this guy was a tosser. theres nothing worse than playing some whinging arse

[fredsk1]

hes a sook.

stop fucking whinging. sooky cunt

[j2000rules]

can't get excited about modern tennis? wow. try viagra.

[maynoon43]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oool quality!!

[Schrittwieser]

McEnroe looks like he's on steroids in this clip, he was defaulted because he told the umpire to go fuck his mother.

[fbinsulation]

he seriously said go fuck your mother??!!! OMG hilarious!!!!!!!!

[capitalIDEA111]

He said f*ck and Mother in one sentence. Then there were two further bleeps. The umpire looked like a little nerd and decided to show whose boss. Ridiculous over reaction.

[pandaeyes42]

Default, Mr Mc Enroe!

[deedee51687]

Only Johnny Mac, I love watching his matches, the dude was nuts but he could play his ass off,Johnny had personality.

[Weisslander]

Poor sport!

[Nicksa44]

i miss safin

[mza10]

what a man

[samirchopra1]

Loved McEnroe back in the 1980s - can't get excited about modern tennis.

[Tropical1973]

That's exactly my point - people are never satisfied with what they have. In about 15 years, we went from "gosh these are such brats, they don't deserve to be there!" to "gee now I miss the brats"...it's pathetic, how we always look for this perfect medium.

[drain12]

Yeah, tennis lack personality now a days.

[Tropical1973]

This is the stupid thing about tennis fans. Before it was "these players are such assholes!" Now it's "where are the assholes of old! It's so boring now!" What a testament to tennis fans worldwide, congratulations.

[alessandrokaka1]

i dont think is just about tennis in particular...people are never content with what they have...

[douqep]

Ah McEnroe was great. Not only was he a superb serve-volleyer but it was ALWAYS fun to watch him. Although I think he's great, I fall asleep watching Federer..

[dabutenguay]

MceNROE IS THE BEST!!

[newmark401]

I'm not sure that he ever really gave much thought to the rules, although they applied to him just as much to any other player. It's surprising he hadn't been defaulted before then. He was a bit of has-been by that stage, but it's nice to know that he got his comeuppance in the end...

[Zebonka]

I can't find any videos where he really goes off.... damn!

[diggler2002]

I was at that match. McEnroe always pushed it to the limit but forgot they had changed the rules.

[Ronster9]

Too bad he acted like an a--. Becker said Mac was playing better than anyone at the Aus. Open and could've won it.
