Fantastic history, and very engaging. I played HS tennis in the mid 80’s so I vividly remember John McEnroe’s explosive temper on the court. But I never knew the crazy things going on behind the scenes that changed tennis forever.
Fascinating hearing about McEnroe, a complicated genius if ever there was one, and what led up to his default at the AO. The near ambient background soundtrack is distracting to my middle aged brain however. The parts without this weird music are excellent.
Valiant effort and what they have produced is well done, however, there is just not enough content to make this into a multi-episode show. Incredibly repetitive.
