It got about as much buzz as my Facing McEnroe book but “But Seriously” is also quite a good read. I picked it up last week and finished it in days. As always, John McEnroe never fails to deliver. The larger than life historic champion and iconic American pop culture figure has lived a fairy tale life as a New Yorker turned world champion, art collector/dealer, rock ‘n roll wanna be, family man, with houses all over the US – Malibu, Long Island, NYC, Idaho.
You learn a lot of inside information from “But Seriously.”
McEnroe’s failures as a coach for Becker, Bruguera and Philippoussis, the Scud could not control his party animal lifestyle and even supposedly slept with Paris Hilton, despite Mac’s urgings to focus on tennis.
McEnroe lost his membership at Queens Club when he told the club president’s wife “to get the fuck off my court.”
Raonic’s primary motive for asking McEnroe to coach him was because Milos wanted John “to help him express himself a bit more during the course of a match and translate his undounted physical power into a more commanding presence on the court.” Mac and co coach Carlos Moya told Milos before the Wimby final vs Murray, “The only way you’re going to win this is if you can match his emotional intensity. You got it?” Milos replied, “I got it.” Raonic led Murray 3-0 in the first set but Murray reversed his fortunes in four sets.
The book also details McEnroe’s forays into TV, The ill-fated talk show and game show The Chair.
There’s also a lot of glimpses into the music world, with anecdotes about his good friends Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood. Wood looks up to Richards like a big brother hero. McEnroe was also friends with Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, who he golfs with. Mats Wilander’s charity once auctioned off 18 holes of golf with McEnroe and Waters. Mac joked the second prize was 36 holes.
Close encounters with President Donald Trump are also included, such as the $1m offer to play Serena or Venus, winner take all in 2000. The Williams sisters wanted no part of that showdown, despite how impactful it would have been to promote the sport and raise monies for charities.
The book is a super fun read with many pleasant surprises, like an essay by daughter Eva about her love for tennis but how hard it is to play tournaments with the name McEnroe. Also wife Patty Smyth contributes her perspectives of her husband and how they first met which humorously differs largely from John’s account.
As large a figure as McEnroe is, he also reveals the times he felt star struck meeting people he held in high esteem, which is hard to believe, considering that McEnroe is as popular or infamous as Tyson, Jordan, Ali, Gretzky…did you know McEnroe is the longest running Nike athlete under contract? The book is an excellent balance of entertainment and page turning disclosures.
Andy Warhol, Chrissie Hynde, Richard Branson, Ivan Lendl, getting bullied at Stanford by a football player, Saturday Night Live with Andy Roddick, the book is a roller coaster of entertainment.
It’s the quality of read that you can’t wait to find the juicy parts, you just open it up scanning for names an events, and then later flip around all through the book to find the parts you didn’t read yet.
Dear readers of tennis-prose.com would not be disappointed by grabbing this book and the other book it overshadowed, “Facing McEnroe.”

Philipoussis ALWAYS found a way to disappoint his tennis fans. I saw him against Nalbandian, with Philipoussis forehands sailing well past the baseline while Nalbandian found his mark nearly every time on his returns.
This was of course the tournament where Nalbandian barely missed the finals, losing his semifinal to Roddick, so his form that day was pretty unbelievable and the way he wasn’t missing against Philipoussis carried through his semifinal with Roddick. I don’t think Nalbandian would have beaten Ferrero if he had gotten past Roddick – I had caught Ferrero earlier that week as well (beating up on Chela) and he definitely looked like the guy that would hand Agassi his hat later that tournament (which he did).
Ferrero’s “fall” from the top perch in 2003 was sudden and surprising, even considering the chicken pox of 2004.
But hey, that’s tennis without the big four: unpredictable.
Andrew Miller · December 30, 2019 at 11:11 am
That McEnroe-Raonic anecdote is funny. Another reason I like Raonic and want him to win some big titles, at least a Masters. He’s a good sport.
Amazing that when it comes to Raonic it’s always other players benefiting at his expense. Moya de-camps and joins Nadal, Ljubicic leaves for Federer. Raonic is lucky his girlfriend is loyal (is she? Just kidding – but given Raonic’s luck…). I’d love for him to have a healthy 2020, he still has the spirit of fierce tennis in him.
Scoop Malinowski · December 30, 2019 at 11:37 am
Ferrero’s sudden fall was fishy. Hate to speculate but I feel it’s fair to question everything. You have to wonder if JCF got busted with a “spanish doctor” and he could no longer take his vitamins. The chicken pox story was about as believable as Richard Gasquet’s “sorry I just kissed a girl who was snorting cocaine lines but I didn’t do any myself.” Ferrero was from great to mediocre basically overnight.
Scoop Malinowski · December 30, 2019 at 11:40 am
Philippoussis was a great player, he manhandled Sampras down under and he was up and set and break point on Pete at Wimbledon when Pete was in his PRIME. He teased us with his glimpses of greatness, a big man with monster weapons on serve and forehand and a damn good one hander that even Pete Sampras was overwhelmed by. He was the first Del Potro but he had the off court discipline of Alberto Mancini and Nick Kyrgios. Finally after wasting his career, Flipper flipped the switch and became a dedicated work horse, then the injuries wrecked his career. Sad to say Mark Philippoussis was one of the biggest waste of talents in tennis history.
Scoop Malinowski · December 30, 2019 at 11:43 am
Raonic is so far under the radar, he might be at the point Ferrero was at the end where I saw not one single person watching him practice at US Open. Maybe that will help Raonic. But meanwhile behind the scenes he’s working more furiously than a one fingered typist. Hope Raonic has one last surge of greatness left and he could shake up the status quo. Wouldn’t mind seeing that, he’s paid his dues and suffered enough.
catherine · December 30, 2019 at 12:01 pm
I liked McEnroe’s first book better than his second.
Hartt · December 30, 2019 at 12:51 pm
In terms of Milos coaches, don’t forget Goran going to Novak! Milos gives these guys a chance and this is how they repay him! Seriously, I understand why the coaches wanted to work with one of the Big 3, especially when that player was also a friend. But it was tough for Milos.
Andrew Miller · December 30, 2019 at 1:19 pm
Maybe Ferrero was just excellent for a period. And maybe the guys around the top today aren’t normal. Wasn’t as if JCF wasn’t a top junior (he was). Wasn’t as if he wasn’t good on clay (he was – he was an excellent clay player).
My vote is the racquet switch to Head. But if anyone else wants to say the Mosquito was a doper go ahead. If so he was the worst doper ever.
Sometimes a quick scan of Wikipedia tells the tale. Ferrero had chicken pox, then cracked his ribs in practice, then fell to I. Andrev in the French Open – he went from a winning streak to a losing streak mostly from illness.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_Ferrero
We’ve talked a lot about Ferrero before. He acquitted himself pretty well after hitting the skids of his career, getting back to top 20 by end of 2005, then stayed top 30-ish until 2008, and had another top 30 year in 2009.
I think the TP consensus if I remember correctly was “the game passed JC Ferrero” rather than “Ferrero should have gotten back to the top 10”. Ferrero was good at side-to-side but didn’t have the game that took over from 2004- onwards (all court, defense to offense, etc).
The tip-off that maybe Ferrero wasn’t the equal of some of his peers I think was pretty hard to tell. I like that he was good on hard-courts (similar to Charlie Moya). His serve was never much, his return of serve wasn’t much, and he was a bit of a glorified baseliner.
I thought he could be more than that. And I was wrong.
Andrew Miller · December 30, 2019 at 1:20 pm
All should send “Thanks!” cards to Raonic for letting them steal his coaches. Yes I forgot Ivanisevic. Sheesh. Raonic is the most “jilted groom” in tennis. He and Monica Puig should swap stories about how other players steal their coaches. Puig may not be able to dish much but Raonic might have some advice for her on how to find a coach that stays loyal.
Andrew Miller · December 30, 2019 at 1:25 pm
Agree with Scoop here -> “Sad to say Mark Philippoussis was one of the biggest waste of talents in tennis history.”
I’d say that is true. I was surprised he had ZERO ability to change his patterns on court – I didn’t see any evidence of that when watching him play Nalbandian. Seemed stunned the ball kept coming back and failed to appreciate that Nalbandian ENJOYED returning huge serves. Forced to revert to a SV game or try to get something going from the backcourt, Philipoussis made error after error after error after error.
Don’t think the guy improved much – he was known for hitting the stuffing out of the ball and the harder he hit to Nalbandian, something he didn’t seem to appreciate, THE HARDER IT CAME BACK as Nalbandian took the ball early. It was a royal mess.
Andrew Miller · December 30, 2019 at 3:58 pm
Maybe a little (or extremely) harsh on Philipoussis – my bad. Nalbandian WAS playing lights out that day in 2003, and Philipoussis had a huge year with the Wimbledon final, losing to Federer for Federer’s first slam title. That kind of result is outstanding, and Philipoussis was still considered a big deal in 2003. He did well in 2004, and as Federer & co rose in 2005 that was it for Philipoussis.
catherine · December 31, 2019 at 1:00 am
IG reveals the real reason Kerber went to Hawaii – not for that pesky tennis but so she could go hiking – a good German pastime. And why not ? She’s in no hurry to get to Australia and I don’t blame her. With half the continent in flames and various other difficulties looming the South Pacific seems a better option right now.
catherine · December 31, 2019 at 6:06 am
And on the subject of Australia I have yet to see one single comment from any player acknowledging the dire situation there, not only the human and economic cost but the devastated wildlife.
I wonder, will we see any tournament winners donating some of their vast prizemoney to appropriate charities ?
Hartt · December 31, 2019 at 7:33 am
The bushfires in Australia have to be a big concern. As this piece on the Tennis.com site stated, it isn’t just the players who will be affected, but others involved, such as the ball kids.
“Australian officials will be monitoring air quality as the season begins Down Under amid heat and smoke from bushfires.
Sydney, one of the three sites where the ATP Cup will be held, is among the most affected.
“We have got medical experts on site during the tournament who will be advising in relation to conditions and ensuring that it is safe for players to play and also safe for our fans and our ball boys and staff,” ATP Cup Sydney tournament director Tom Larner said.”
It would be great if some players donated $ to appropriate charities. Players such as Federer have made donations when there was a local catastrophe, so hopefully these players will do that.
Scoop Malinowski · December 31, 2019 at 8:39 am
How are these fires starting?
Hartt · December 31, 2019 at 8:58 am
I do predictions every year. It is purely for fun, I don’t take this very seriously. But I do like to see which ones I get right.
This was my last day to finalize my predictions for 2020. I switched Rafa and Novak, and took out Kei from No.10 because it looks like injuries will continue to be a problem. Otherwise these are the same from a few weeks ago. Would love to see what others think.
1. Rafa
2. Novak
3. Dominic
4. Stefanos
5. Sascha
6. Roger
7. Daniil
8. Denis
9. Matteo
10. Karen or Stan
Top 15: FAA. De Minaur, Rublev (And more in hope than anything, Milos)
Moving up: Fritz, Sinner, Pospisil
catherine · December 31, 2019 at 9:02 am
Scoop – mainly started by people burning off scrub which smoulders until hot and windy conditions come along, sometimes by lightning, sometimes sheer negligence – campfires etc. This summer has been very hot and the undergrowth is tinder dry. So once fires have spread over a wide area they are almost impossible to put out.
Bushfires are terrifying. We experienced one in Tasmania when I lived there many years ago so I can imagine this disaster only too well.
Hartt · December 31, 2019 at 11:00 am
Outside of bushfires, what was it like living in Tasmania?
Scoop Malinowski · December 31, 2019 at 11:24 am
Seems here these CA fires are intentionally started. Looking forward to the start of the new season.
catherine · December 31, 2019 at 11:42 am
Hartt – I haven’t lived there for a long time, except for visits, it’s Australia obviously but cooler in climate, not so cosmopolitan, in my time a bit isolated – but I liked growing up there and never wanted to live on the Mainland.
Maybe a bit like parts of Canada, Nova Scotia ? except for the cold. Interesting history. Good university.
Bushfires aren’t so common – more rain even in summer. We were just unlucky.
Some good tennis players used to come to Tas when the tournament was part of the State circuit. Arthur Ashe came one year and even Althea Gibson before him. Not a bad event now though no longer on grass.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 12:12 pm
Prediction: WTA supplies most of the drama in 2020.
Prediction: remainder of drama: Tsitsipas/Medvedev “fight”…on twitter.
Slams: Serena Williams gets #24. Sharapova doesn’t win another one, and retires after the Olympics.
Slams: Best player in 2020 isn’t Serena, but her accomplishment gets the most attention, as it should.
Excellent players: 2020’s best players aren’t 2019’s best players. That’s because it’s an Olympic year. Pride means something to players, but we don’t know who until then.
Olympics: Puig does not medal. Her switch from Babolat to Yonex dashed these hopes, much as it did to Bouchard 😉
Coaching Carousel: Players with stable coaching do well, including Muguruza, who thrives again under Martinez.
Sabalenka: Wins again in China at end of year when nothing matters. Sabalenka and Tursunov coaching deal falls apart.
GEMS Life: Stays strong.
Men’s tour: Someone breaks through to get their first slam. Otherwise the big guys dominate the slams because they are experts at the five set format and experts on the stadium court and crowd management. The Masters become the main arenas for action on the men’s tour. As the men’s rankings change the big four lose more often.
Thiem, Medvedev, Tsitsipas: Other than the twitter war these guys do well.
Fan Favorites: Begin to change. There’s a growing appreciation of the new guys, who find themselves more popular and better known where they go.
Hartt · December 31, 2019 at 12:25 pm
Andrew, very interesting predictions. I hope you are right about more fan appreciation of the new guys on the ATP. They are fun to watch, and the fans need to get on board.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 1:02 pm
Hartt, I hope so also. I’m worried about the (rows and rows and rows and rows of) empty seats from every televised match – maybe I should just hope that tournaments do a better job of growing fan bases for their tournaments. If the tournament directors in Asian countries aren’t going to grow the fan base, given tickets away, or even pay people to sit in the seats, they should either take a cue from Europe and find smaller venues for the matches (like Luxembourg) or sell the tournaments back to other countries or continents.
Some of those matches really are the worst attendance. If you can count the # of fans at the match in a big stadium (and assuming the weather is good), there’s a problem. Increasingly I have been able to do that this year and it makes me believe the sport has made a huge mistake in expanding to markets that have no interest in the sport.
Maybe with the rise of the sport in Canada, Canada may look to upgrade some tournaments to the WTA or ATP level.
Andrew Millerq · December 31, 2019 at 1:04 pm
Hartt, one more prediction: “tournaments experiment with new and misguided formats to make the sport ‘more appealing’. Even though everyone objects, at select tournaments they decide to implement things like OCC for the men’s tour because ‘the women’s tour has it'”
catherine · December 31, 2019 at 2:10 pm
Andrew – the WTA is obsessed with the Chinese market and I think they have invested an enormous amount there, and not just money. My suspicion is that this is a move which the WTA will live to regret. Maybe tennis has a limited market as far as tournaments go. It hasn’t expanded around the world in the way many expected and I’d agree with you that it’s probably best to just abandon those markets. Won’t happen though.
Trying ‘new things’ to make a sport more appealing has been tried in cricket with disastrous results. On the other hand 90,000 spectators fill the MCG on Boxing Day to watch the oldest form of the game. People in suits sometimes underestimate the public – look what is being done to the Fed Cup, after that tie in Perth. Who’s going to turn out in Budapest for Italy v Croatia ? (eg)
catherine · December 31, 2019 at 2:29 pm
In other words – solidify the markets which are already there rather than diluting them – and pleasing no one.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 3:49 pm
Catherine, I absolutely worry about the sport’s “regionalization”, as well as the empty stadiums. I am pro expansion. There are tennis courts everywhere and should be, too. We have no idea where the next champ comes from – the fact there’s a great one from Canada, never a super market for tennis, is “amazing” and a credit to efforts to bring a meaningful sport to more athletes.
Where there’s no “true” market but big tournaments, those tournaments should make an effort to develop the sport. If they can’t promote then they should de-camp to smaller venues – the production value on TV won’t go down. Otherwise it looks like a farce.
Anyways on the international level I noticed there are good juniors from everywhere. I’m surprised to see some top juniors with “Colombia” next to their name. Makes me think of Fabiola Zuluaga, Alejandro Falla (whose name I couldn’t remember) as well as (I didn’t know this) the US Open mens doubles champs Farah, Cabal. Duque never made an impression on me (sorry, maybe she is really good!). Giraldo (same, sorry).
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 3:57 pm
Catherine, guess I am saying: “expand and promote the sport” but “don’t hold tournaments if you can’t fill (at least a bunch of) seats”. My way of describing things is a little messy. I agree with you that the China expansion has been bonkers – this sentiment is widely held. The tournaments in China are obnoxious – players are on pedestals and the positioning in the season (dead last) with full draws is scary – full draws of players, tons and tons of money, preciously few fans.
If they can’t promote the sport organically then switch venues and go for a smaller venue if anything to save face – the Luxembourg and Vienna tournaments were nearly standing room only.
Do some exhibitions in other parts of China. Hold clinics. Cross market with the NBA…just do something.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 4:02 pm
Not in favor of “solidify where possible” – this is just maintenance. They should do that anyways. The sport needs to expand. There’s been a retrenchment ESPECIALLY on TV (almost impossible to find tennis sans cable etc where I am) – I am sorry to say I have to find matches after they’re played and that’s a sad development in U.S. tennis (it’s a bit TiVo tennis).
Summing up: if you’re staying in place you’re regressing in tennis – audiences for the sport don’t grow without some effort or some kind of supernova event like Osaka or Andreescu that fires up the imagination. The effort is easier to pull off than the supernova stuff. There’s no reason for empty stadiums anywhere, but given how enormous the venues are in China maybe there is a reason for the empty stadiums (i.e., they weren’t supposed to exist in the first place).
Classic case of believing if they built it they’d have audiences. Only to see: totally not true. They built it, they pay players to be there, the players gleefully take the money and appearance fees, and the next year same deal.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 5:52 pm
Hartt, I expect support for “other players” to grow in 2020 (unless there is some damning scandal – you never know in this glamour-prone sport). Some players made a huge leap last year (actually – MANY men’s players made very big strides). I thought they’d be more popular by now, but the tennis “public” or “general sports fan” picks up things slowly. Some of them have to my eye “durable improvements” in their game and especially their match preparation and durability (handling the elements physical and mental).
Hopefully some of them show great courage this year, win some big titles and reap the benefits of the newfound attention. More confidence, more money, more good things hopefully.
Part of this is because all of them have already “done the work” and put in the time to be in position to win more and more consistently, and therefore gain the additional visibility so that they become players fans want to see and more than just a few fans. That should mean more name recognition for them (and more sponsor money).
Part of it is because they are young at the right time, as the elders in the sport have shown a little bit (not much, but enough) vulnerability. I don’t know if they can put that back in the box, but sooner or later new generations of players take over and they soak up lots of attention.
Most of all it’s because their games are dazzling. I am more positive on the talent of the men on tour than the women, but I have felt that many of the women’s players have developed all court games as the tour has become more competitive. Still waiting for the “unique” players to stand out (I like Muchova here) and that wait may be interminable. Finesse on the women’s tour isn’t much of a match for power plus strategy.
Probably have to settle for Halep volleying on occasion, or a great shot from another WTA player in a losing effort 🙂
Scoop Malinowski · December 31, 2019 at 5:54 pm
Not sure I agree Andrew on Puig/Bouchard going down because of Yonex. I just used Yonex ezone 100 and am seriously considering changing to it. Super racquet, feel, control, power, heft, manueverability, really like this racquet. Makes my old volkl and heads feel like toy racquets.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 6:34 pm
Yonex did it…neither are Osaka or Rios 😉 Now I understand the Korda support – he was a Volkl man!
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 6:38 pm
Controversial takes: Becker: sticking with Puma HELPED his career; Ferrero: the switch from Prince ensured he was locked out of the top ten; Lendl: from Adidas to Mizuno spelled “doom” at Wimbledon.
You heard it here first, and last…it’s not scientific but I am running with it anyways.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 6:40 pm
Agassi: how did he survive the switch from Prince to Donnay to Head racquets?
Answer: he didn’t. It took years to acclimate to each one. Agassi could have had “twelve” slams.
(I am merely throwing this out there…it’s total speculation).
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 6:42 pm
Djokovic – with Wilson, wins 2008 Australian. Switches to Head Racquets – took TWO YEARS to get back to slam glory (again, non-scientific…totally biased…but the speculation is as fun as can be!).
Scoop Malinowski · December 31, 2019 at 7:36 pm
Rios, Hewitt, Hingis, Wozniacki, Kerber, Osaka, Nalbandian, Wawrinka, Yonex may have the most top 5 per capita players in tennis.
Jon King · December 31, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Another Yonex vote here. Changed 3 years ago and would not want to use anything else.
Andrew Miller · December 31, 2019 at 9:10 pm
Never could. Gimme a T-2K or Jay Berger’s old Prince Pro 1 aluminum. Can’t swing the square wand. Glad some can, but my point is: underestimate a racquet switch and pay the short term price. I haven’t seen it work immediately for players, and see it has been a good move long term for Wawrinka, Wozniaki, etc. Seems to take serious getting used to, but that’s the case for any racquet change. I assume the money is hard to overlook, racquet companies want lots of players using them. That’s how Babolat snuck up on tennis – never understood the appeal but look at Nadal,doesn’t change his racquet much.
I saw the same thing a long time ago. Takes used to with any racquet, and the switch is the same thing.
catherine · January 1, 2020 at 4:08 am
There seems to be a mysterious tournament going on in Hong Kong, Prudential sponsored women’s event – visible highlights on Youtube but no mention anywhere else. There are no spectators and just the umpire and a couple of ball boys. – it’s as if playing behind closed doors. Are these old highlights ? Or a ghost tournament.
I’m surprised there is any tennis in Hong Kong in view of the political situation. Odd.

Not a hope.
Scoop Malinowski · January 1, 2020 at 9:08 am
ATP Cup has not hooked me yet. Too many players too many matches too much complication to start off the year. Hopman Cup was simple and fun.
Hartt · January 1, 2020 at 9:20 am
I am looking forward to the ATP Cup simply because I miss tennis. But to me, it isn’t worth losing the Hopman Cup and the men playing Brisbane.
Hartt · January 1, 2020 at 11:17 am
Good for Nick Kyrgios. Tennis Australia should do this.
“Nicholas Kyrgios
@NickKyrgios
C’mon @TennisAustralia
surely we can do a pre @AustralianOpen
exho to raise funds for those affected by the fires?”
catherine · January 1, 2020 at 11:37 am
Hartt – I totally agree. There’s been a stunning silence from players and admin persons about this catastrophe. What world do these people live in ?
catherine · January 1, 2020 at 11:56 am
Old news by now – Sharapova has a WC into Brisbane. I think she may regret missing an easy payday in Hawaii but she could find Brisbane a different matter. Out early. Lots of WCs ahead for Maria.
Kerber was still in Hawaii for the New Year. She’ll go out early too. Naomi’s practising hard with Fisette and I’d rate her chances high. She’s motivated for 2020. The heat may be an important factor.

Scoop Malinowski · January 1, 2020 at 4:13 pm
Kyrgios gesture is nice and classy, would rather see the big money players make donations too. Fed Serena Rafa Djokovic could afford to.
Hartt · January 1, 2020 at 5:17 pm
They could have an evening of those quick matches, I forget the official name, but first to get to 10 points wins the match, and ultimately one player wins the most for the title. All proceeds would go to assisting those devastated by the fire.
Scoop Malinowski · January 1, 2020 at 5:27 pm
How about McEnroe vs Serena all for charity, all going to these fire victims? or Federer and Maria vs Serena and Nadal 🙂 Or how about McEnroe vs Gauff? 🙂 Or Karsten Braasch vs Gauff?
