McEnroe was right but his childish tantrums usually put the opponent off, not himself. So it's cheating and gamesmanship as far as I'm concerned. He never pulled that shit againt Borg, because Borg was about the only player he ever respected.
Best match ever - McEnroe vs Borg at Wimbledon. The one with the tiebreak which went on forever.

I saw McEnroe
start to do a delay with
Roscoe Tanner but
Roscoe Tanner walked
up to the net, made a fist
and offered to punch
out McEnroe's lights.
McEnroe buckled down and
played tennis. (He won!)
