Any D1 singles player? It's a complete joke... Mac wins hitting second serves only and staying back.

Lol, so you think someone beats Serena at 4 and 4, but then a top Division 1 male singles player is a joke to them? AND staying back? Youre completely off base.

Serve on, Mac wins 6-2, 6-2. Serve off? Mac wins 6-4, 6-4 vs Serena.

an elite D1 singles player will beat mcenroe pretty easily, you're talking like a steve johnson-caliber player, you realize that right? he's won futures tournaments and has qualified for the AO main draw. he would demolish mac.

Paying any attention at all to what Mac says about his own game is a bit pointless. Some of us recall when he took a short break from his tour career many years ago, then said he was back in training and would reappear on tour with a game so advanced and superior that the typical tennis fan would be unable to comprehend it. He reappeared with what appeared to be the same game and got hammered.

there are some ex elite college guys that do play world team tennis. Guys like JP smith and Sam Warburg. Someone look up what Mac has done in matches with them.

I think Sampras had some trouble with his knee or leg in that match, but either way Mac has been playing very well. The only guy he can't seem to beat is Rafter.

Based on what someone says who I have hit with a couple times that plays WTT and is seeded at Slam doubles events, the matches like that are fixed. Mac is not beating them otherwise.

Who are we to insult Mac with such theoretical nonsense?
