Former tennis world No. 1 John McEnroe was caught on camera in a heated exchange with a young fan at Melbourne Airport. The teenager, who was a huge fan of the tennis legend, had been asking for a photo and autograph, but McEnroe, who was in a hurry, was visibly frustrated. As the fan persisted, McEnroe's anger boiled over, and he was seen yelling at the teenager in a viral video. 'Not right now, mate,' he said, before telling the fan to 'stay away from me.' When the fan tried to take a selfie without permission, McEnroe's outburst escalated, with him shouting, 'Stop! Jesus. I mean, are you kidding me?' The incident has sparked debate about McEnroe's behavior, with some calling it unacceptable and others defending the tennis legend's right to personal space. McEnroe, a seven-time singles major winner and one of the greatest tennis players of all time, has a reputation for being hot-headed on the court. However, this latest incident has raised questions about his behavior off the court. McEnroe's impressive career included 170 weeks as the world No. 1 in men's singles and 269 weeks in men's doubles. He is the only male player to have held both rankings simultaneously. Despite his on-court achievements, McEnroe's off-court behavior has often been a topic of discussion. The latest incident at Melbourne Airport is just the latest example of his short temper.
