Around midnight in Melbourne, the American entered the Rod Laver Arena headquarters, microphone in hand. John McEnroe, living legend of tennis and one of the sport’s most famous commentators. Without mincing words, without shame like in his days when he drove rivals and referees crazy, with him anything is possible.
He feels, however, a special devotion to Carlos Alcarazwhich he treats with care, knows the youth of Murcia, 20 years old, and still struggling with the English language, which is for the world at large when ‘Big Mac’ insists on shutting down his American and speaking as if is a crusher.
Marking syllables, McEnroe began his turn of questions to the winner of the match played Richard Gasquetwith appreciation: “Thank you for wearing my shoes,” he pointed to the Murcian, referring to a model that looked like a version of the Mac Attack.
First question: “Are there times when you make hits to try to impress the public, so you want to show what you’ve got?” Fans go wild, listening to the dialogue over the public address system. He was thinking about it Alcaraz before saying “sometimes” between laughs.
The atmosphere was good, the fans were happy with Alcaraz, who they shouted over and over again, cheering them on. So the viral moment came John McEnroe. “Next (question),” he said in perfect Spanish. He knows a few words, not more.
The people did not remain silent, and John shouted in loud Spanish: “Shut your mouth!” Carlos Alcaraz hallucinating, never stopping laughing. McEnroelustful, drawing a mischievous smile, pleased with his expression.
