Recently we went to a charity tennis match at UCLA that featured John McEnroe vs. Andre Agassi. It was an exhibition to promote the ATP tournament that was being held that week and proceeds went to Agassi's school in Las Vegas.
It was fun to see the legends play a match in person and the crowd mostly enjoyed it, but McEnroe was not having a good time. He played very poorly and was not in a joking mood even though it was a simple exhibition match.
Several times during the match, McEnroe would curse and break his racquet after making a bad play. I think the crowd thought he was playing it up for their entertainment but he was clearly not in a good mood.
After the match, which he lost, he left the court immediately without a word to the courtside interviewer and supposedly busted up the locker room at the stadium.Too bad. It was a fun night otherwise, with a celebrity doubles match to start the night that included Jim Courier and Michael Chang.
