As if to hammer their point home, McEnroe decided to forgo attending the traditional Champions&#8217; Dinner following his victory to party with his friends. The next morning, he was met by a rush of British paparazzi and left to explain himself. &#8220;Uh oh,&#8221; McEnroe says in the clip. &#8220;This may have been a bigger deal than I thought.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-2470497911\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>McENROE takes viewers into the mind of one of the most controversial tennis players in the history of the sport as he traverses the streets of New York City over the course of a single night, retracing his life in previously unseen archival footage.
