During an interview with Graham Bensinger, John McEnroe heaped praise on his parent’s role and admitted he was quite lucky to have such good parents in his childhood. But he added, “I’ve learned that, while my parents, I believe, were really good parents, that by far and away, for me, the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do was to try to figure out how to be a good father and a good parent. There’s nothing more satisfying, but more difficult.” Perhaps music has made it easier for him now.
