Question

He meant it too but I cant remember who.

Answer 1

It was Ivan Lendl. Lendl threatened to punch Mcenroe if he got out of line during their 1983 Wimbledon semi-final match. Mcenroe won the match 7-6 6-4 6-4

Back in 2003 Todd Larkham's brother confronted Mcenroe after Mcenroe harshly criticized Todd during his first round match at the Australian Open. Mcenroe called Todd pitiful on the air.

Answer 2

An Australian tennis coach has threatened to punch John McEnroe after he ridiculed his younger brother live on television.Also dutch player Scapers and Australlian Rod Frawley threatened to punch him at wimbledon.

Answer 3

There would be many candidates....Jimmy Conners comes to mind....and maybe Pat Cash....I am sure you are right, but can't find anything online about it.

Answer 4

This is interesting.  Thank you guys for giving information.  I was not yet old enough when McEnroe ruled the Tennis world. I only heard that Sampras broke a lot of his records, but never heard of anyone who tried to punch him...until some of you have supplied some answers.
