The Manning brothers are back for the third season of their popular NFL program, which has often piqued the interest of many American football fans. In the most recent episode of ‘ManningCast’, Peyton and Eli Manning, the former American football quarterbacks provided their own analysis of the biggest topic of the night: New York Jets vs. the Buffalo Bills. But a certain reference caught the eye of the tennis world too!

They were accompanied by a special guest from the tennis realm, John McEnroe who came up with his light-hearted assessment of the Bills’ quarterback, Josh Allen. However, it later prompted the former tennis ace to draw parallels between himself and the Aussie star, Nick Kyrgios, as he made an honest confession. So what exactly went down?

John McEnroe opens up about how he is similar to Nick Kyrgios

The 7-time Singles Grand Slam champion recently joined the Super Bowl-winning quarterback brothers on their NFL program, the ManningCast. During their analysis of the match between the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills, John McEnroe issued some blunt assertions about the 27-year-old quarterback, Josh Allen.

Given the American quarterback’s ‘impatient’ antics and performance in his recent match, McEnroe said, “Telling Josh Allen to be conservative with the football is like asking John McEnroe and Nick Kyrgios to behave on the tennis court…” While drawing parallels to the NFL star, the American tennis legend admitted that he also used to misbehave on the tennis court during his heydays.

Nick Kyrgios, another popular tennis figure, also sprung into his thoughts when discussing the idea of outbursts and angry tantrums on the court. Just like McEnroe, the ‘bad boy of tennis’ is also known for his no-filter demeanor as he has never held himself back from expressing his views and emotions during his matches. Some of the most notorious tantrums have also been witnessed during ATP star matches.

In addition to his phenomenal prowess, the Hall of Famer also caught eyeballs owing to his temper tantrums and rants during his heydays. Despite a remarkable campaign in Melbourne, McEnroe landed in hot water during the 1990 Australian Open. After facing a controversial line call decision, the former tennis ace intimidated the judge and smashed his racket on the court. All of this eventually led to his disqualification from the Grand Slam event.

Just like McEnroe, the Aussie tennis star, Kyrgios has also made headlines due to his on-court antics during the previous season’s US Open. After his five-set thriller quarter-final defeat against Karen Khachanov, the controversial tennis star repeatedly smashed his racket on the hard court surface and ended up breaking it. And for the same ‘unsportsmanlike’ reasons, the ‘bad boy of tennis,’ also faced a hefty fine of $14,000 after his match.
