McEnroe: Part Deux



Jeff Tarango, a player of whom I have personally never heard, has returned to professional tennis after a 2002 retirement. Notable for his on-court temper, Tarango seems like a balder, shorter, and surprisingly more rash McEnroe. Maybe he can work on the height issue with a routine of stretching to further emulate John. At any rate, the man who "famously" stormed off the court following a controversial umpire ruling (the ump was later slapped by Tarango's wife) has a achieved a certain level of success for a 40 year-old. His age is the only remarkable aspect of his 60 46 76(5) opening round victory in Indianapolis qualifying. Look for Tarango to lose in the next round. Update: He lost in the next round.
