6. Clerc vs McEnroe<\/h2>\n

Davis Cup (6 Hours 15 Minutes)<\/p>\n

Clerc d. McEnroe 6-3 6-2 4-6 13-11<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Clerc<\/p>\n

McEnroe<\/a> is a true beast of Marathon Matches<\/strong>. He holds three longest-tennis matches records, all of which are over 6 Hours and 15 Minutes. However, despite his enormous stamina and will-power, McEnroe lost the match in favor for the Argentinian Jos\u00e9 Luis Clerc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Argentina advances to the Inter-Zonal Zone<\/strong>, facing Czechoslovakia in the 1st<\/sup> Round. Argentina lost 2-3 and Czechoslovakia advances and wins the Final against Italy.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Luis Clerc retired from professional tennis in 1988, not long after making it into Argentinian history as one of the most prolific tennis players of all time<\/strong>. Clerc\u2019s highest career ranking in singles was World No. 4 in August 1981. Throughout his career, Clerc managed to win 25 ATP titles.<\/p>\n

McEnroe, although retired from professional tennis, is still quite involved in the media and the tennis world. As a prime example, here\u2019s McEnroe on the Jimmy Kimmel show<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XwzMJOhderk<\/a>, making bold statements that he could win in a match against Serena Williams.<\/p>\n

McEnroe\u2019s sole drive to win against her is this statement: \u201cAnd I\u2019ve got a lot to lose, because if I lose to, God forbid, a woman, then I\u2019m not allowed in any men\u2019s locker room for the next 15 years, or possibly the end of my life. So that\u2019s part of why it\u2019s intriguing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
