Has men’s tennis eclipsed women’s tennis when it comes to personality? That’s what the always outspoken John McEnroe thinks! He says that men’s tennis is where all the personality is nowadays.
“Personally, I think over the last five years the men’s game has totally eclipsed the women’s game as far as personalities go. A lot of women have retired. Obviously the Williams sisters, when they are motivated, they are probably the two best players in the world and create interest. But there’s more personality among the men. I think it was disguised for a while because they thought it was getting out of control with the likes of me and (Jimmy) Connors. But nowadays, I think at the US Open you saw a lot of emotion come out of Roger, showing a side you hadn’t seen as much, and there’s Nadal, Murray, Djokovic and even (Jo-Wilfried) Tsonga, for example. There’s a number of players who I think actually show quite a bit of personality.”…
Do you agree?
