John McEnroe loves controversies and now he sparks yet another one.
The American Legend was one of the top double players in modern tennis to win a whopping 71 titles. That seems to be not enough to stop Big Mac to say that he would axe doubles from the ATP circuit!
John: Why are we playing doubles? …
According to John the discipline has been devalued to comment “Why we are even playing doubles at this point is a mystery to me. I love doubles but I don’t even recognise what this is.If there was a volleying contest from the service line, most of these guys couldn’t… They play an inch from the net. It is like wham, bam, thank you ma’am.
…allocate the money to singles!
“If you cut out doubles and gave that money to singles players ranked between 200 and 1,000, maybe that would do something for the game.Then some other guy who never really had the chance to play ends up becoming number 100 in the world instead of quitting when he’s number 400,” he added
“Most doubles players, I hate to say, are the slow guys who were not quick enough to play singles.”
This time John seems to be serious!
