John McEnroe's most recent tryst with tennis was captaining Team World to a successful title defense at the Laver Cup in Vancouver. The contingent, which had the likes of Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, among others, beat Team Europe, who had four Top-10 players, 13-2 to win the tournament.

McEnroe said in a press conference after the last match that his team "kicked some a**" throughout the tournament.

"I am proud of these guys. We brought together a great group of some youth and experience, guys that have been here before. Everybody played well. It was an awesome week. We kicked some a**, baby. That's what we did," the American said.
