John McEnroe’s epic Wimbledon meltdown: ‘You cannot be serious!’ | ESPN Archives

it was [Music] but you can't be serious man you cannot be serious that bow is on the line [Music] how can you possibly call that out company you can miss he's blocking over everyone knows that sending his whole stadium and you pulled it out spleen the linesman called the thought because the ball was on this side of the court and you know the very fact that there is a spread of chalk as you can see mr. MacElroy your second chance well here's another look at this McEnroe serve I must say it looked to be on the line to me first point I thought that was on the line builded Youth my sympathies are 101 percent with McEnroe there Peter if only wouldn't go on about it quite so much it's already had one warning of course so Wow 30 could be in trouble here what a nasty return for him to cope with there 15:30 what because that thing verified into what the world I'm going to award a point against you mr. McEnroe so we have one morning Russell appoint rewarded by mr. Edward James who's exercising his right here to get malaria but I must say I think the Empire on this Court will have plenty of supporters when he awarded a penalty point on that occasion father on gullickson waiting patiently trouble with this situation Peter is of course that McEnroe has asked for the referee who is no doubt highly gaze busily engaged in putting that song caught on a court 16 the second I don't do one in sports funky country and I think the Ambar is absolutely right bill in this particular circumstance yeah that I do although my own view of that service was that it was long but the you just have to play to the nine judges in the umpire and in this state also the electronic eye and if you don't do that the pain becomes a complete shambles which it's not good tennis really does have to uphold authoritative or form here comes the referee Fred Boyles who of course won't have seen the point in question and now has to adjudicate over some things which he never saw that oils have been refereeing a-tremblin for many years and had a few similar situations to deal with [Applause] [Music] you can repeat you've been repeated it wasn't anything we're not gonna have a point taken away because that's not the world that's exactly what he is [Music] [Applause] the score is now 30 or so McEnroe has lost the ball
