John McEnroe breaks racket... unintentionally!!

[EPR89]

The racquet was so used to it that he anticipated getting abused. A bit enthusiastic there.

[Migue261]

WHERE IS MY RACKET???!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION...YOU JERK!!! "saliva flows through the air"

[lorpira]

"Jhon swings hard!" LOL

[SuperGh6]

if mcenroe was in the world war 1 ir 2 he would have won it he is so brave and i am serious!!!!

[cartoonsfut]

star wars music?

[cdn19940804]

What? Someone posted a video of me between two handball matches ? You cannot be serious !...

[bundeligafan]

i wanna know what happened in the NBA

[MegaPapuca]

that must have been made in china

[nessy707]

You cannot be serious!!!!!

[MrJvc98]

UOUOUOUOUOU, the power that he didnt had to make to separte the racket!

[MrMutron]

You CANNOT be serious!

[enigma81581]

HAHAHHAHA FAIL!!!!

[RossBayCult]

McEnroe does nothing hard.

[thaqiwagee]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

[TheLyricsGuy]

haha fuck you John McEnroe. I wish that racket landed on your hot-headed head.

[themothmanreturns]

hahahaha the irony...

[musiclover33ism]

that showes how good racquets were then

[AJTAFFY]

'unintentionally'... thats a first for McEnroe.. :D

[OrangeSodaKing]

I'm sure that made him so mad he fixed his racket and slammed it back down breaking it again.

[bogisa96]

in the NBA.... XDDD

[wheelmanstan]

thats about how much tennis epsn show. the only way to get tennis the light of day is with some crazy outbusrt or "hard swing", sad. Tennis is the shit.

[GuitarGyros]

I think it came flying off before he even hit the ball because the ball didn't even move at all.

[goldenroses101]

loooooooooooooool unbelievable!

[Rus6ATP]

xD

[airsoftbuddies50]

wasn't even that hard O.o

[Boleslawik]

Radwanska did it as well :)

[SPBTsnyder]

lol, what if the raquet had hit him on the head?

[nishjaxx]

@SPBTsnyder Maybe thats when the racquet manufacturer HEAD came about :)

[miukiblue]

john swings " HA!" looks at racket " wait wtf?" top of racket falls down "oh shit thats scared the crap out of me" xD

[olydream3]

made in china!

[judaspriestrock]

"John swings hard" hahahaha classic

[burgosdiasgrises]

0:02 WTF!!?? wheres the rest of my racket!!??

[Danielaiis]

Ajajajajajajajaja

[KleWdSide]

Unintentional? That's a first for Mac.. lol

[rondelego2]

ooooo i see basketball!!

[Jakaplof]

subliminal message at the end ...

[aftfnm]

@Jakaplof where

[Jakaplof]

@aftfnm O_o you don't see the mini part of the match of basket ball ?

[Kickblckr]

he just looks around like 'did that really just happen?"

[yokatzman]

in the N....

[cocacola1234100]

Nah, I've done that before - it broke because of all the times throwing it. The frame can only take so much damage

[ZawShin]

he used his mind 

[ManiPulatoR84]

.. and he almost got hit by the other part when it hit the ground a few secs later ^^

[undonekai]

I love how he just stares at the racket's handle like "what is this?" xD

[alin1975]

@undonekai

Yeah lol... that is by far the best bit :D

[Voodemar]

New York 1985, Masters. McEnroe loses a moment later 0:3 to Anders Jarryd in the second set but wins the match 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. I love that serve! :D

[123cys]

its probably because he has a light racket and because they were wooden back then

[kshin882002]

the racket broke because of all the times he threw his racket

[KevinVO]

0:04: My racket turned into a dildo ?! YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS !!!

[arneduym]

lol he was watching to his racket like: wtf where's my blade???

[1000MileLost]

those old crappy ass rackets back then are weak

[VicJLo]

@1000MileLost I think they were stronger actually. Today it's just some soft hollow aluminium or "cornflake" carbonfiber

[Wolflegion0]

@VicJLo aluminium is not soft, only in the form of a thiny piece like paper. and that cornflake carbonfibers are strong enough to build a F1 car so not so soft.

[waspsrugbydude151410]

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!!

he actually did it without chucking it on the floor. wow! theres a first!

[ruaridh2k7]

I saw the title. John Mcenroe breaks his racket unINTENTIONALLY. I thought impossible.

But wow this happened to me once except it didn't go that high:P Poor Mac.

[luisdjokovic]

loose his head like his owner

[Ramoa111]

WTF!

[FutureAbe]

WOW, THAT IS JUST.... AMAZING!! WHAT ARE THE ODDS!! WHAT AN AMAZING THING TO OCCUR!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS

[capoile]

ahahahahahah

[2knowfun2]

If you want to become a great match player, go to my channel: ( 2knowfun2 ) and watch the video World Class tennis part1/2. Everything that is important to know about tennis is covered in my my two videos.

[gigatron4]

so what??...he was going to break it anyway ;)

[TheCheesyProductions]

he's probably like "watch mah pwnage serve

swosh, boing, BANG

crap, my racket broke

oh well i got like 5 more in mah bag"

[babitoto]

fail

[ChantoTheMovieGuy]

Just the way he said "John swings hard."

[jean6826]

HAHHAHAH!....his reaction was priceless!

[Phishean]

yeah love ehg star wars music in teh back ground...:)

[track818]

If Andy Roddick played in this era, he would have to replace his racket after every few sets if only John McEnroe can deal that kind of damage haha

[flyskyairflair]

JOHN SWINGS HARD.

[TorgeistLLN]

Did he hit an ace off that? Wow! That's great because he could just get another racquet from the bag after that.  Imagine of the guy returned the serve? John would have to use handle to hit the ball. :-)

[ArkAngelHFB]

@TorgeistLLN and he probably would have pulled it off to. lol

[TorgeistLLN]

The guy commentating this George Michael (from the George Michael Sports Machine) died in December. He used to be sort of the Sportscenter of the 80's into the 90's before Sportscenter really came into our lives. His show was fun to watch. BTW, McEnroe's racquet was the Dunlop Graphite model.

[someperson319]

xD its hilarious when he looks at his racket like "what the hell wheres my racket"

[tennisproderek]

how is that possible

[fivecougarsoz]

@tennisproderek

it was 1985, probably a wooden racket.

[SwedeWithAnAccent]

It was a Dunlop Max 200G. Actually a graphite racquet!

[AlanfromMaryland]

John gave me this broken racket after the match and I kept it all these years. What a great memory to see it on YouTube.

[hattrickster33]

why'd he do that?

[cyanrazorCel]

READ THE FING TITLE

[MegaMacTV]

The immense force of his anger and rage broke the racket without it having to connect with anything. The sheer speed of the swing. Stupendous.

[pandappotamus]

he looks at his racket.... 'where the fuck did my racket go?"

[kenisinoregon]

lol john swings hard lol

[rondelego2]

random basketball players at the end

[darbocity]

was it an ace?

[tiochaota]

the ball did not even get hit lol

[darbocity]

@tiochaota jaja--you're right!

[guifris1]

yes ace

[superman11978]

Funniest thing ever.

[ItsNoelDur]

"John swings hard."

No Shit.

[Stefan1527]

haha

that was so fuckin funny

u hit it and then u see u have only half of it in ur hand haha and then it falls

[jna180]

fuckin jacked lol

[8451606]

this jusst happend to my frends 180 dollar raquet during a smash

[brtrajano]

lol

[flyskyairflair]

"John swings hard." Epic.

[ramseszerg]

That's not true, quality is not a factor at all. In fact, a low quality racquet is of the exact same quality in making as a high quality racquet.

[salaheddine10]

I like his service.

[EPR89]

Wow, that was close. His head almost hit his head.

(I simply couldn't resist this little pun. Sorry.).

[themargenaus]

It probably had a fracture in it from him beating it just moments before! :)

[chino190506]

jajajaajajajajajaajaa

[srwboy]

Yea rackets were made of wood back then =)

I love the way he looks at the handle wondering where the head has gone lol.

[jasonmoyer]

No one (or at least, no one at that level) was still using wooden racquets in 1985.

[arneduym]

me to :D

[jsouce]

Mac @ his best WAS the best. USA Davis cup. Mac You Rock!. NYC. Thanks Peaceout!

[KhoalityNguyener]

"John swings hard" XD. unsophisticated sentence structure win.

[mikeblair333]

it's not that they aren't good quality, it's just that wood is much less strong of a material than graphite or kevlar

[isselman2000]

"John swings hard" Nice.

[VicJLo]

@isselman2000 Really hard imo, to break a fucking racket come on!

[MrCWL]

John swings hard...awesome.

[Henri1357]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! dO_Ob

[9Bluejay]

What was that?!

[TheJustinHit]

Tennis were cheap raquets back in the day

[clanshrapnel]

ROFL. I can't stop laughing after seeing McEnroe's face as he holds the remainder of the racquet. LOL

[AnimationMaster99]

No such thing. He did it on purpose because he was losing. XD

[foul01]

takes some talent if its done on purpose

[AnimationMaster99]

he is a talented player- and a pro at racket smashes.

[msane4XX]

Unintentionally? Wow..

[dianalovestennis]

it snaped right in half!

[InCharacter]

Eh, he probably hits his racket on the court in his tantrums often enough that it was just ready to break.

[R3cruited]

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

[rx7monster]

lol

[tamayaterrorist]

he broke his raquet? u cannot be serious!

[silverberetta17]

IS THAT GEORGE MICHAEL?!!?

[carlostrc]

Greetings! And yes, he is, in his Sports Machine show.

[polipoli7]

careless whisper XD

[jaafarj]

Imagine Roddick being born in that era LOL...he would have had 742405253broken rackets

[seabard77]

probably

[TorgeistLLN]

That's one racquet I'm not buying if it just snaps off while serving.

[TorgeistLLN]

I can't believe that. I've never seen a racquet literally snap off while serving. The look on McEnroe's face when he's holding the handle is priceless. WTF!!!!???

[melancolie6]

lo más impresionante es que ganó el punto haha

[remnant24]

Ahhh they don't make 'em like they used to.

[Coolguy16161]

Lol hilarious

[patyawi001]

hard to see him do that unitentionally! lol!

[godgirlsguitars]

man i love wooden ones. I dont see what's so special with these new technology racquets. I love how a wooden bends back and springs foward when hitting the ball. they act like a spring board. nothing like a good board.

[nekonaru16]

except a wilson [K]Factor [K]Six.One Tour 90 XD... but i love my old wilson supervolley still got the original strings

[godgirlsguitars]

Lol i have a Roger Federer racquet too. It is a nice racquet. That's nice that you still have the original strings on that old Racquet. I got 2 wooden TAD Davis raquets and i busted the strings out of them so i dont have the original strings. One's a Duke and the other is a Top Spin Davis raqcuet and it's diagnolly strung but i cant get anyone to string that racquet plus it's a little warped but the Duke isn't warped at all. :)

[mysteriekiller]

Rofl. He talks like he is telling a story to his 2 year old daughter.

'John swings hard.'

I mean, come on

[LLNagashi]

did you guys saw john's face lol lmao rofl soo funny "wtf where did it go???" lmaoLMAO!!!

[xartiex]

lol, that's awesome, although i think it has to do with the way rackets were assembled back then.

[Nightmare200X]

lol the racket was owned

[TennisIsMyLife12]

super awesome

[aarontse1994]

AWESOME!

[sportsman12345678]

john swings hard!

[firefrostpeacemaker]

rofl

[martinezaguado]

The same happened to me with a badminton racquet!

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

The racket suicides because it knows its future hahahaha

[jakobrockz]

rofllllll

[babbygirl009]

haha nice!

[firefrostpeacemaker]

lol

[arneduym]

@DIANAROSS4EVER haha thats great man xD

[TheFernB]

@DIANAROSS4EVER lol epic win!

[sealurfate]

hitted?

[opl1n4]

llok up first then wonder

[jda091]

i'd have laughed my ass off even harder if the racquet came down and landed on his dome XD

[Ovidius777]

fuck :|

[Danzel9987]

What would be funny is if it clipped the umpire, He seems to LOVE the umps

[skate4life890]

he's like "where did it go??" :O

[loadminik]

nice

[davitoytoy]

when he tries to break his racket intentionally it doesnt break but when he does it unintentionally it breaks, lol. go john!

[tato4527]

hahahahahahahahaha

[acies92]

Was that an ace?

[DropShotterer]

No, it was a fault. But that would have been one of the all time greatest sports plays EVER if that was an ace.

[godgirlsguitars]

i was wondering if it was an ace too and i agree with you. :D

[lytwielder]

his reaction was like "hmm i dont remember buying this"

[FOOTIARSENAL]

how fast was the servE?

[seph49]

How old was that racket?

[godblesskiddchris]

it'd be hilarious if it fell on his head

[t3b4n22]

why it has star wars background music?

[Medication102]

'John Swings Hard'....LOL!

[theXDEXclan]

about an hour ago i hit a serve in which my racket exploded in!!! it split in half, i had also fallen in the first set and ended up breaking another racket aswell :s i didnt even smash them!

[diablotank]

riight

[Goldenwrath]

Okay?

[KhalilShqair]

is that because you have a cheap quality racket like john up there?

you know something...tennis is a paperball

[cys12141]

I've broken a racket while hitting a forehand once myself.

[angryniggah]

there were several versions of the max 200g. i think i purchased a prototype and it indeed had a tiny sweet spot. the revised version max 200 g i was more duffer friendly, less heavy, and in every respect was another clinker from the early graphite era. worst racket of all time: adidas gtx pro that lendl used. most underrated: schnauert fortissimo---incredible feel for the ball.

[angryniggah]

best racket of 80s: wilson ultra 2 mid...sweeet

[trabv]

looks like a toy racket

[NYDannyWY]

you look like a toy racket

[keneke45]

yuuulll

[omgitshideous]

oh man, i miss george michael's sports machine...

[smellytoefrog2]

that was NOT the hardest serve of the year
