Click here to send a question. As a casual tennis fan I believe John McEnroe should have been selected to play Davis Cup to generate some interest from viewers like me. It would have been great.
Big names are what the event needs.
The captain's job is to field the most credible team, not generate ratings and woo fans. Imagine if John had embarrassed himself and the Yanks lost 3-2. Given how poorly the doubles tandem for the U.S. has performed in recent ties, the new captain will be well within his rights to call the old captain's number at the next face-saving tie. Much praise for the tennis movies top-five list . It is with remorse that I admit I've seen that movie.
