A Tennis Lesson From Johnny Mac
Who wouldn't love to get a tennis lesson from John McEnroe?
A friend of mine recently was on the court with McEnroe and Jana Novotna in Ottawa.
I asked him, of course, what the experience was like.
The format was mixed doubles and my friend had two main comments.
The first thing he said was that both Johnny Mac and Novotna were incredibly competitive, even in the supposedly relaxed setting of a tennis lesson.
The second thing that my friend said was that it was stunning to him how early McEnroe hit the ball. It was as if the ball was returned back at his feet the moment he hit it.
Hitting early is one of those things that you can't appreciate on TV. On TV, we can see power and often the early hitter is using the other's player's pace. So, it doesn't look that impressive.
There's nothing like tennis lessons from the world's best.
