In this world of short attention spans and multi-tasking and the focus on cell phones, it’s difficult sometimes to notice beautiful art, to really notice it.

This painting of John McEnroe arrested my attention at the Sarasota Open. The artist is even more intriguing than her work. Karin Billings is a woman of many talents.

John McEnroe fans can rejoice. The King is Back and he’s not done yet.

Late last year McEnroe said he would stop competing in the ATP Senior Tour and the tournament in December in London would be his last. But McEnroe returned again to senior competition yesterday afternoon at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Florida.

During his career as a player John McEnroe regularly pissed off the establishment with his rebellious behavior.

John McEnroe said to a Belgian media outlet that he while he has great respect for David Goffin and his tremendous overachieving, he would prefer to coach Denis Shapovalov or Nick Kyrgios.

I was over at the John McEnroe Academy in New York City on Randall’s Island on Tuesday to shepherd my son to a workout where he actually played in a doubles group with Lindsay Davenport’s son, Jagger Leach, and as I was there, Johnny Mac appeared and was engaged in a singles match with who appeared to be a teaching pro at the academy.

John McEnroe is back with a new book, “But Seriously, which just came out on Tuesday, 15 years after his iconic and No. 1 New York Times Bestseller, “You Cannot Be Serious.” And here is my question to you, do you think Johnny Mac still wakes up in a cold sweat sometimes because he lost that 1984 French Open finals against Ivan Lendl, even though he was up two sets to love, had three break points at love-40 to break Lendl at 3-all in the third set and had a forehand volley to go up 5-3 in the fourth set?
