As bad as McEnroe's tantrums were on the court, you have to understand the frame of mind McEnroe worked best in. He played the best when he felt it was him against the world.....and his mind put him in that state.
His hand quickness and footwork were his weapons. His serve was OK...but he is a lefty which puts him at an advantage.
Being 40, my favorite players were/are Connors, McEnroe, and Gerulaitis. I liked Borg too...but not nearly as much.
The younger guys....I like Sampras, also helps that I knew him when he had a two-hander, Marat Safin, and Taylor Dent.
On the women's side.....I like watching the Russians.
