John McEnroe People Quotations

No one cares about the Davis Cup. How many people know I won five Davis Cups and seven majors, but that I rarely played the Australian Open?

It would be a nice place if you took all the people out of the city.

I'd like to think I could have and should have won more, but that's not the point. And I was at the point where I was playing great tennis in the mid 80s - the type of tennis people hadn't seen before - and I was very proud of that.

Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people.

We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.

Maybe I should have played two more Australians and two less Davis Cups? I could have had more majors and still have three Davis Cups when most people don't have one.

The ushers are looking for a couple of bucks and they will sit people down right in the middle of the game. They will do it and you've got to live with that.

A lot of time there is hype and people talking about players when deep down they know it's not going to happen but Murray is really capable of being a great player. He has a way of keeping you off balance and a real feel for the game. Mentally he's proved to be pretty tough and his body has grown as well recently. He plays hard, shows a lot of emotion and is a breath of fresh air. Just the type of player tennis needs.

The greatest compliment I ever got was when people called me an artist, and I understand that solo aspect of being an artist, when you're in there by yourself, trying to do something great, and people who don't even know you can come up and just dump on you.
