I remember so many of those incredibly angled vollies. They were either so cutting that they whizzed by many feet from the opponent as if the court had been turned around horizontally or they dropped over the net like the ball had been deflated.
Best touch in tennis ever.
Incredible touch. NOBODY ever hit a drop volley better.
He is simply the best!
He is the best. Don't care about records, titles...etc. He was the best.
This is hands down the best highlights of John McEnroe, thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you for uploading this video. It had to be some work to collect all of these, and the quality is EXCELLENT. Theres matches on UA-cam from the early to mid 90s, that you cant even see the ball. These are ALL crisp.
What a joy to watch. Thank you!
I got to watch him playing on Grass Courts at Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport RI in Davis Cup and on the Senior Circuit. His half volley drop shots were absolutely perfect when you saw it happen in person. He also constantly changed the pace, spin and direction of his shots. From a strategy and shot making perspective he played chess while his opponents played checkers.

So unique of a player.
Thanks! So glad I at least got to see him on tour as well as seniors.

To me, McEnroe was a genius. I use that word because of the unbelievable raw talent that he possessed. Other players work and work and try and try and perfect their game over decades. McEnroe was just born great.
You only say that because you've never seen him practise. I didn't like him but saw him at practise a couple of times. Talent is never the only key to success, but always the one excuse to explain why we didn't make it.
Great moments with a great artist ! Thanks !

Ahhhhh....Johnny Mac. The best hands in the history of tennis. Bar none. And until Roger came along - he was easily the most creative player with his shot invention and selection. It's one thing to be a creative shotmaker and not be a winner (See: a whole slew of players like Monfils) but to be a creative genius and a multiple Slam winner? Those guys are rarer than hen's teeth. I can only think of 2 - McEnroe and Federer. They see the game in a totally different way than everyone else.
Totally agree, very well said
Rafa's pretty inventive as well. Nobody talks about John's return of serve, but it was one of the best ever, especially on the forehand side.
@@joemarshall4226 I know.
@szs voc Nah....methinks you've gone too far in the other direction. Monfils and Kyrgios are more like talented shot makers whereas Mac and Fed are insane in general. I would love to see the two of them in old/current same-sex "mixed" dubs right?
@@joemarshall4226 Rafa can play some serious dubs too. Folks be hating on him but the boy is BAD.
Tennis was great to watch and play back then. Now it's all short points with monster serves and grunting ground strokes.
A million thank yous. That was brilliant.

Grew up watching McEnroe. Best hands in the business. No one could touch him. Edberg a close second
He was a real natural talent, I enjoyed watching him play.
And those severly angled vollies werent just flukes either. He did it all the time.
Agilita' corsa classe tocco potenza precisione strategia nella costruzione del punto talento tennistico puro eleganza in poche parole THE GENIUS John McEnroe il giocatore piu' bello da vedere in campo di tutti i tempi quando era in stato di grazia UNICO ED INEGUAGLIABILE NELLA STORIA DEL TENNIS MONDIALE con i suoi pregi ed il suo temperamento capriccioso ma giustificabile per una persona del suo livello che ha avuto il dono DIVINO di giocare a tennis con uno STILE che nessun altro sapeva e saprà mai avere.
I never hated John despite his outbursts. He just cared too damn much about the game and winning and wore his heart on his sleeve.
The very first incredible volley Mac hit, how the heck did Lendl get to it!? He was so fast!
my left ear enjoyed this
Eventhough todays players are faster, Mac was the wizard of Oz on the court. Always my favorite player
A lot of his shots were using wood, too, which anyone whos played with, knows how small the heads were, and also how unforgiving they were.
You had to have SO MUCH better hand eye back then. Players today are faster, and hit the ball harder, but they are playing with SUCH better equipment than John did for a lot of his career.
I always said that nobody was hurt more by racquet changes than Mac. Yes, he won with steel and graphite, but passing him enough to beat him with wood was almiost impossible. Had racquets stayed wood, he may have doubled his grand slam total.
He looks like a ballet dancer performing his best Tendu, a true genius ...
2:26 is the greatest half volley I’ve ever seen
What about 11:18?
And TBH - Roger is the King of the Half Volley.
@@Fuzcapp No, 2:26 is better. Full stretch at the sideline and hits a winner drop shot. Most players including Fed wouldn’t have put a racket on that ball.
Roger hit an even better one against Tomic...on the backhand side, which is tougher. The ball ws BEHIND him, and he had only a tiny sliver of an opening for the passing shot. See it here at the one minute mark.ua-cam.com/video/bvgsFJWQH8Q/v-deo.html

@@joemarshall4226 ua-cam.com/video/bvgsFJWQH8Q/v-deo.html - you can timestamp it! I had to watch in slo-mo to tell whether it was a volley or a half-volley.
what an insane touch at the net....

Great upload, bruh. Many of Mac's highlights that I've never seen before.

This is rare
Super Mac 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️
Used to be a fun game to watch. Last yrs w/power from back line games, a snore
Mac and Borg were tennis to me growing up and everyone else were just extras in the show.
3:04 - ridiculous. I don't remember that one.
" You cannot be serious!"
From what match between McEnroe and Connors is that footage from 7:36 to 8:23? Looks like 1989.. regarding the racket Connors uses.. but it's not Toulouse, is it?
It is a Michelin match. Yes 1989.
Ce service volée de folie qu'est ce qu'il m'a régalé dans ma jeunesse
I have been looking for McEnroe Vs David Wheaton 1990 U S Open quarterfinals for years on UA-cam. Can't even find a clip. Any way you could help a fellow Mac fan?
I have the Wheaton match and 530 McEnroe matches. Visit my site.
Where did mcenroe and Connors play, please?
great highlights ... wow
facebook.com/JohnMcenroegenius/
Mi padre le encantaba pero tampoco le veo tanto, creo que es de esos jugadores extraños que parecen mejores en un partido en directo que en los highlights con sus mejores momentos
X me il N1 .....i love John John....
The edit. 🤪
Offensive tennis at its best!!!!

These are your highlights???
I made for my channel
Good quality.
whats with it changing 3 times before each clip…
Sound quality so bad this should be deleted fixed and reuploaded
Today’s players would triple bagel these guys under an hour.
Not in they use the same racket technology. Nadal and Djokovic would have got murdered on grass in the 80s and 90s.
If equipment was equal, that all are champions and human beings. They'd have great matches. Look at Laver playing Conner in around 1975. Laver is an old man and from a different era, but he gave him as good as he got.
And put the audience to sleep. Who cares to even watch that imho
What was the point in watching tennis in the 70s and 80s. The resolution on televisions was so bad. You can barely see the fucking ball.
Jeez....Lendl made some great shots here, too...amazing gets! And you should add this point to the video.... ua-cam.com/video/h04fNS0firM/v-deo.html Believe it or not, the ump was right here, according to my friend who has been a chair umpire for 30 years. There should not be a space there, but if there is, Mac's shot is considered a valid around-the-net shot
Lendl must've hated Mcenroe.
Ivan learned to beat him like a drum after a while.
It was mutual. If you want to see them talk about it - check out a couple videos that Mats Wilander recorded at the 2019 US Open for IIRC Eurosport. It's Wilander, Becker, McEnroe and Lendl. For anyone who knows the history of animosity between Lendl and McEnroe it's hilarious to see them getting along and chatting up a storm. They're both talkers. And believe it or not Lendl is far more bombastic than McEnroe.

Yesss they hated each other
After 85, McEnroe pretty much became Lendl’s bitch.
Big Mac was the greatest
Tennis is so easy !!
after watching this video if u have went to doctor for eye check up then like.
if u went for ear check up then comment.
Good tennis player but his temper got in the way
McEnroe could play well sometimes. He couldn’t stand at a high level long. Talent is important. Training is more. Look at the stats Lendl vs McEnroe. Lendl, hands down...
Not really. When both were in their prime, McEnroe had the better of it most of the time.
Even so, he lead their h2h until 1988, when Mac was well over the hill and Ivan finally took over.
He won six grand slam titles bro
The GOAT. Vilas, Borg, Jimbo, Wilander, Big Mc, Lendl, Nastase, Laver, Becker, Agassi, Sampras...Most of thrm were hippies, poetries, rockers...Living the night and life with most beatiful women around...They've created the business. Now, boried tennis players, with ZERO fun and boried lifes, married with ugly ladies (as Nole, Rafa or Roger wives) with diets full of proteins, hormonas, anabolics and doping, are delivering a poor tennis style. Sad.
