Yet Lendl couldn't win Wimbledon...? Yet Lendl has never had a record like that year McEnroe had at 1984.

[alessandrokaka1]

Hes got such good sense and timing for comedy!

[plstrom]

well here's a winning arguement for this last question, why dont 35 or juniors get the same amount of prize money than? like it or not it is im men where the absolut best tennis possible to be played is... so how come a man makes the same money when they would give a 6-0 / 6-0 to any woman any given day ?!

[mephatboi]

poor jonas, he got shafted by mac when he didnt say jonas was his fav doubles partner, or even as an honorable mention

i guess johnny mac only cares about the partners he won slams or davis cups with, haha

[mephatboi]

if women played best of 5 sets for 2 weeks, it would be the worst quality tennis any1 has ever seen

the women's game still lacks depth, so many girls would just tank the 3rd set b/c they'd know they could never win 3 sets in a row against a clisters or henen, after losing the 1st 2 sets 6-1, 6-2 - it would look pathetic

and larger players like serena would never last under the aussie sun by the time she reached the semis/finals

the fans would suffer and prob force it back to 3!

I saw Serena Williams throw a tantrum and got defaulted this is small change next to his outbursts.

McEnroe....is my twin, we think the same way. I love him....in a man kinda way...lol

I'm only 10 yrs younger than him, and i've seen it allll....lol. so much more, but i'm tired.

[howieshi]

second that.

[chonobe]

they shouldnt get equal play, becoz they dont play best of 5 set =) less work hrs less pay lol

[lacobra27]

Women shouldnt get equal pay coz the level of tennis they play will always be inferior to the mens game. Look at the rankings now. Any woman from #1 to #8 can be the #1 player from tournament to tournament and there is a big gap between the top 20 and the rest of the field. You rarely see big upsets in the first 3 rounds with women. Competiiton there is watered down. The women's game is prone to more unforced errors than men too. Thats why their level of play will always be inferior.

Very interesting,Mac is a genius even as a commentator with a lot of knowledge about almost anything!
