82 against Wilander for certain. It was an amazing display of endurance by both men, and the match featured brilliant tennis from both. While McEnroe was the favorite, Wilander was an up and comer, and I think 82 was the year he won the French for the first time.

Runner up is his match against Becker in 87.
 
Against Clerc and the doubles against Clerc and Vilas Mac should've won easily. They were held on his country and on his court. Both matches were tight five setters and on fast carpet. The Argentinians are clay court specialists and only played doubles for Davis cup, so I don't consider them good matches for McEnroe. They were good matches for the argies
