McEnroe begins his story with his childhood in Douglaston, New York. He was a gifted athlete from a young age, and he quickly rose through the ranks of junior tennis. He turned professional in 1978, and he soon became one of the top players in the world.
McEnroe's career was marked by both brilliance and controversy. He won his first Grand Slam singles title at the US Open in 1979, and he went on to win six more Grand Slam singles titles over the next seven years. He was also a dominant force in doubles, winning nine Grand Slam doubles titles with his partner, Peter Fleming.
But McEnroe was also known for his fiery temper. He often argued with umpires, opponents, and fans. He was even disqualified from the 1981 Wimbledon Championships for unsportsmanlike conduct.
In You Cannot Be Serious, McEnroe opens up about his struggles with anger and frustration. He admits that he made mistakes, but he also argues that he was often treated unfairly by the media and the tennis establishment.
McEnroe retired from professional tennis in 1992. He has since worked as a commentator and coach. He is also a successful businessman and philanthropist.
You Cannot Be Serious is a must-read for anyone who is interested in tennis or in the life of one of the most controversial and compelling figures in the history of sports.
