In an interview with La Repubblica, John McEnroe spoke about his career, about tennis and not only. 'I played my best tennis ever in Bruxelles '84, that was my magic year, I was really "in the zone", like we say when we have the feeling to never make an error.

In Bruxelles '84 I was unbeatable (in that tournament beat Tim Mayotte (6-1 6-1), Marko Ostoja (6-1 6-2), Johan Kriek (6-3 6-1), Thomas Hogsted (6-3 6-1) and in final Ivan Lend (6-1 6-3)'. His biggest disappointment: 'Obviously '84 Roland Garros final against Ivan Lendl.

I had some chances but I didn't succeed to do it. I think about it so many times...'. According to him, best players of all time are... 'Rod Laver, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal; Novak Djokovic is No.

5 but can rise... in the Top ten i've to put Lew Hoad, when he was in shape, he was the strongest, at least they said me this. And there is also Bjorn Borg'. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, who is your favorite and why?

'Federer is the most complete and when he's on fire, every shot is a winner, he invents tennis.

My worst nightmare would have been facing Rafael Nadal on clay when he was at 100%. And Nole Djokovic, who keeps improving on the net and on serve, and can dominate for at least other two years'. His relationship with Borg nowadays: 'At the beginning I envied him: he looked like a God.

And then he was able to surprise me with that incredible fifth set in the 1980 Wimbledon final. Then dating him, we became friends. I'm convinced that he made me a better player and we're closer than what it seemed. I admired his sense of altruism, his heart.

We're still great friends'. Does he think that a woman can become USA President?

'Maybe now we need a woman, afro-american, maybe we should candidate Serena, yes, Serena Williams.' Also Read: John McEnroe decided what his perfect player looks like
