Yep..I think someone should have said "Dude, its painful to watch you walk". Its amazing how great McEnroe looks.

Speaking of these 2, I recall a Senior match-up, m/b The Courier Tour several yrs. ago where McEnroe was going against Agassi! Andre was running the old guy like it was an official major! John was literally imploring him to ease up as he had a bad leg! :astonished-face::angry-face::fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

I miss the Champions/Legends tour, haven't seen it on TV since 2019. Probably canceled? Courier and McEnroe played each other a lot over the years

Happy for Roger and my old folks taught me if you cant say something nice about someone (Mary C) for me than just stay quiet.

I just saw this & felt compelled to share:

I dunno, no denying Fed’s gifts but that is such a subjective list, if he was the greatest all court player should have had more than a single French Open…yea I know Rafa is the GOAT on clay but we are talking greatest all around game….much as it pains me Novak IMO…

Too many folks give Roger “style” points which honestly is even more subjective & irrelevant, both Rafa & Novak for example broke serve with their returns more than Fed if I’m not mistaken

Unfortunately, it's Roger's style pts. that keep elevating him unfairly above Djokovic! What's so sad is, it's continuing well past his retirement! He's in the HOF FGS! It would've been more credible if Fed had left after his 2012 Wimbledon win! The Tennis Intelligentsia could legitimately muse or hypothesize a "what if" scenerio even if & when Nadovic overtook his 17 Majors! IMO his ego wouldn't allow it! He went 5 1/2 yrs. to add those last 3 Majors, but he was run down for the overall lead anyway by Nadal & Djokovic! Sampras sat on his laurels for almost a decade before Roger took over w/ 15 Majors in 2009! IMO, Roger went at least 2 yrs. past his expiration date of 2019! His last real harrah outside The Laver Cup was dropping yet another Major final to Djokovic while holding MP's in 2019 Wimbledon event! I have to add Djokovic is about to achieve something no other player comes close to in owning 100 singles wins at each Major! That should have told people the most when deciding who's the overall GOAT on all surfaces! :angry-face::yawningface::fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:
