6 JOHN McENROE

POSSIBLY the most exciting player in tennis history, McEnroe mastered Wimbledon with touch and technique, rather than biff and bang.



EPIC WIN ... McEnroe ended Borg's
five-year Wimbledon reign in 1981

His graceful shots and graceless rows with umpires were unmissable entertainment.

Left-hander McEnroe spent four years at No1, winning 77 titles.

And his clever serves - sliced with angle and bounce - were an intelligent set-up for perhaps the deftest volleys tennis has ever seen.
