Djokovic vs McEnroe Match Thrills US Open Tennis 2009 Fans

The winner of Monday's last match of the 2009 US Open tennis tournament Novak Djokovic was not even born when tennis's all time bad boy, John McEnroe was dominating the tennis world back in the early 1980's. After his win over Radek Stepanek in straight sets Monday night, Djokovic challenged McEnroe for a little match for the fans. The Djokovic vs McEnroe match was a special treat for the packed stadium.

The Djokovic McEnroe fan game pitted one of tennis all time great and ultimate "Superbrat" McEnroe against today's tennis fun to watch and very talented Djokovic. McEnroe dominated the tennis world in the early 80's winning three Wimbledons, four US Opens and a total of 17 Grand Slams. He was known mostly for his temper and the unpredictable blow ups at umpires and just about anyone else in his way.

McEnroe won most of his tournaments before Djokovic was even born. The Serbian, Djokovic was born in 1987 and is 28 years younger than McEnroe. Djokovic is a serious player on the tennis court, but is not afraid to have fun. That showed during the Djokovic vs McEnroe match on Monday night.

After his victory on Monday night during his interview, Djokovic first challenged his friend Todd Martin to come down and hit a few balls for the fans. Martin declined and then Djokovic turned to the broadcast booth and challenged McEnroe. McEnroe was one of the announcers for the match. McEnroe immediately started on his way down to what became the Djokovic McEnroe fan game.

Djokovic thrills fans with not only his incredible play on the tennis courts, but also with impersonations of other players. While waiting on McEnroe to make it to the court, Djokovic portrayed a great imitation of the bad boy McEnroe hollering at the ball person and setting up to serve and of course complaining to the umpire. McEnroe finally made it to the court for the Djokovic vs McEnroe match to begin.

While the actual play during the Djokovic McEnroe fan game was not the best of the tournament, it was definitely entertaining. Both champions had an obvious great time in the few balls they hit back and forth. The fans were the true winners in the Djokovic vs McEnroe match.
