A pivotal series of events in McEnroe’s career took place after he graduated from high school in 1977. In that same year he traveled to Europe and won the French Juniors Tournament. He shifted gears and tournaments upon qualifying for the men’s competition when he initially went for junior title at Wimbledon. At his young age, 18 years old to be exact, he surprised everyone by becoming the youngest man to reach Wimbledon’s semi finals though he was eliminated by Jimmy Connors. McEnroe returned to the United States to attend Stanford University in Palo Alto, California after earning his tennis scholarship. In 1978, his school team won the NCAA championship while he led the charge, after his freshman year he already decided to be a pro.
The John McEnroe Gold Tennis Racquet Tie Bar embodies how legendary this man was in the court.
