John McEnroe

#13 11.8

John McEnroe was one of the most boisterous, combative and controversial player in tennis history. He was either loved or hated by tennis fans for his fiery attitude and occasional bad-boy behaviour. A highly competitive athlete who loved winning, McEnroe was known for his epic battles with Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors. His loss to Borg in a five set tiebreaker at the 1980 Wimbledon final is one of the greatest matches in Wimbledon history. He defeated Borg in the finals of the 1980 US Open and Wimbledon in 1981. McEnroe holds the men's record with 149 tournament wins in the Open era: 77 in singles and 72 in doubles.
