Johnny Mac - Image 1When talking about tennis greats, it's always names like Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, or Roger Federer. Easily forgotten is one of the most lovable champs in tennis - the hot-tempered John McEnroe. Oh yes, Johnny-Mac is in Grand Slam Tennis and he's gonna be snapping at the chair umpire...and snapping his racket in two.

"It's great that EA Sports has embraced tennis into its family of games. I think it's a solid sign the sport is thriving and I hope it will continue to generate more interest and excitement in tennis," said McEnroe. "Having Wimbledon exclusive to this game is huge because Wimbledon is such a special tournament, for the entire sport of tennis and for me personally."

The bad boy of tennis definitely makes a great addition to Grand Slam Tennis. Just remember not to make like Johnny-Mac and smash your Wiimote.
