I love him! Often the only thing I tune into Wimbledon for.

(And I loved him when he was a little cutie spoilt brat.)

He has an easy charm and wit about him .... who'd have thought that the spoilt brat of the 80s would turn out so nice!

Watching now with sound off. Better now

The thing is, he doesn't take himself seriously and I love people like that.

Oh jollyg I just love Mac he is witty and charming and he certainly knows his stuff

I find him incredibly funny; always prefer the games that he commentates on. Who would have thought years ago that he and Gary Lineker would be as good talking about their sport as playing it. Interesting that MacEnroe thinks the rules need to change [although I wouldn't understand enough about tennis to know what he was talking about].

And has a certain good-mannered charm.

I think he's a good commentator. hmm

Sorry to all you Wimbledon watchers…….. each year that passes, his twang and arrogance,

You can't be serious etc, just grates.

Yes I can put the sound off and watch sub titles………. its not the same
