When people hear the name John McEnroe they immediately remember the iconic moment when he uttered the phrase "You cannot be serious" to the umpire for the call that was made. John has been a former World no. 1 champion from the United States who has a considerable amount of achievements in the tennis world. He has won Seven Grand Slam Singles Titles, nine Grand slam men's doubles and one Grand Slam mixed doubles title. He was also named as ATP player of the year in 1981, 1983 and 1984 and is rated as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
Although I never have seen John McEnroe in person there has been many parodies made in pop culture of his fiery temper. This has also lead to many advertisements such as the 2007 Mars Bar ad which showed the iconic moment usually during the Australian Open. John McEnroe is still one of the most well- known sports personalities in tennis today and many people when you ask them will remember this tennis player for his outburst moments on the tennis court.
