Legends of Wimbledon John McEnroe is a different and fascinating profile about one of Wimbledon s most famous sons.
In 1977, McEnroe, a brash and brilliant teenager, impressed everyone with his Wimbledon semi-final appearance at his first Championships a remarkable achievement for an 18-year-old qualifier.
In 1980, McEnroe met Bjorn Borg in the Gentlemen s Final for what is still considered to be one of Wimbledon's finest ever matches. The New Yorker narrowly lost, but gained the respect he coveted and later that year became the world's number one player. The following year saw McEnroe and Borg again in the Final, but it was the American's turn to triumph in spectacular style and gain the first of his three Championship victories.
1982 saw McEnroe play Jimmy Connors in the Final and it was during this match that the catchphrase You cannot be serious was born.
The programme also includes interviews with McEnroe's doubles partner Peter Fleming, former umpire David Mercer and the BBC commentator John Barrett, who discusses McEnroes's role as courtside commentator.
Legends of Wimbledon John McEnroe is a thrilling insight into one of the world's most talented, popular and controversial tennis players.
