On a lighter Note Empty On a lighter Note

I came across this in my search for on court behaviour over the years and I thought it would give some insight as to what was allowed and tolerated in the past.  It is also a source of enormous amusement, to me at least, who saw some of it live.

However do view the last video of Johnny Mc and Novak.. I found hilarious and it was to the first time I had seen it. Apologies to all who have seen it before but it deserves a second viewing anyway.

I've seen it before but I do enjoy that Mac and Novak clip.

I imagine that they both hated being the centre of attention as they mucked around...Wink 

Novak's impression of the Mac serve was great and then McEnroe comes back with some excessive ball-bouncing!Laugh

Yes I have to say Ive seen most of it but that I thought was great
Johnny Mc has always accepted the send-ups he gets from his famous tantrums. But I too I loved the ball bouncing    laughing

I've probably posted this before, but it always makes me laugh

Poor old Johnny .. never did he realise when he uttered those words how they would be taken down and used in evidence against him.

Wow, Mcenroe really was an idiot. Well played to DJokovic but the rest of that was embarrassing.

Shows you how well behaved all the players are today (even when they are accused of gamesmanship)  Looking back on it now I really do wonder how he got away with a lot of it.. but it seemed to be the acceptable thing then.
