And finally we come to arguably the most famous tennis meltdown in recorded history. And no prizes for guessing who tops our list. (most famous tennis meltdowns)

During his first round game with Thomas Gullikson at Wimbledon, John McEnroe completely lost it with veteran umpire Ted James after a line call.

He yelled his now famous lines “you cannot be serious” and “chalk flew up” and finished by calling called James “the pits of the world”.

Quite the drama queen!
