For his on-court Grand Slam triumphs, John McEnroe is regarded as a legendary figure in tennis. However, the Hall of Famer’s passion is not only restricted to the racket game, as he has now become a participant in a disparate sport, golf. After his retirement, the former tennis ace has already ventured into the realm of golf, as witnessed by his participation in various events.

Even at the MGA Net Team Championship, the ATP icon was previously spotted taking some swings at the Pines Golf Course. Considering his interest in the game, the American tennis legend was recently asked a golf-related question. Justifying his moniker, ‘Superbrat,’ the 7-time singles Grand Slam champion responded in signature style.

During his recent appearance on a podcast show, the Hall of Famer was asked if he had ever suffered from lateral epicondylitis, which is also known as tennis elbow. The show host, Jason Bateman, asked, “Did you ever get tennis elbow?”

In his response, the former tennis player revealed that he had faced issues with his elbow, but they weren’t that serious. McEnroe said, “Generally speaking, I had issues at times with the elbow, but never real bad”.

In light of his participation in golf, Bateman also asked the former tennis ace if he had also experienced a “golf elbow”. The 7-time singles Grand Slam champion candidly answered, “I’ve not had golf elbow; I just have, ‘Why am I playing this dumb a*s game sometimes?'”

Even though McEnroe had doubts about his golf skills, his friend and show host, Will Arnett gave him high marks for the same.
