John McEnroe's Statement

















Have former tennis player John McEnroe cross the line when he said that Serena Williams would rank 700 among men tennis players?

Former Tennis Player John McEnroe who is known for his "off the wall" comments may have fell for the bait when he was asked a "loaded question" by a reporter.  The first question Mr. McEnroe was asked by the reporter is "Do you think that Serena Williams is the best female tennis player?" John McEnroe said, "Yes she is the best female tennis player." The second question Mr. McEnroe was asked by the reporter is "Do you think that Serena Williams is the best tennis player in the world?" John McEnroe mentioned "Do you mean better than men tennis players?" The reporter responded, "Yes." Mr. McEnroe said, "Serena Williams would rank 700th among men tennis players." Here is how John McEnroe fell for the bait. The reporter baited you Mr. McEnroe by asking you if think that Serena Williams is the best tennis player in the world to get a reaction from you and you took the bait by making it who is better at tennis men or women and responded the way that you did. All you had to say Mr. McEnroe is that you would rank Serena Williams in the Top 10 greatest tennis players list and there would have been no problem. This is just one of the "off the wall" comments that John McEnroe has said. Serena Williams naturally responded by saying, "Please keep me out of your conversation making statements that is not true about me!" I commend Serena Williams for defending herself and saying what she said. Williams basically said "You fell for the bait when the reporter asked you a loaded question but don't try to use that to try to bring what I've accomplished in tennis to try to diminish me as a tennis player compared to a former tennis player like yourself."
