McEnroe was named General Manager, USTA Player Development, in April 2008. In his 11-year pro career (1988-98), McEnroe, 44, won one singles and sixteen doubles titles, including the 1989 French Open doubles title. He reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 28 in September 1995 and an individual doubles high of No. 3 in 1993. He was a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1993, 1994 and 1996. He is the longest-tenured captain in U.S. Davis Cup history and is second all-time with 16 wins as a U.S. Davis Cup Captain. He coached the U.S. team to a Davis Cup crown for the first time in 12 years in 2007. McEnroe was also the coach of the 2004 U.S. Olympic men’s tennis team. A respected television and radio commentator, McEnroe graduated from Stanford University as a three-time singles All-American (1986-88) and member of two NCAA championship teams (1986 and 1988).
The future of youth tennis is changing with the advent of 10 and Under Tennis, the revolutionary approach to teaching kids to play and love tennis for a lifetime. 10 and Under Tennis utilizes the QuickStart Tennis play format as a way for kids, ages 10 and under, to get into the sport of tennis. No longer will children play on a standard 78-foot court with the same equipment used by the pros. As an integral part of the development of young players, the QuickStart Tennis play format features smaller courts, smaller and lighter racquets, slower balls and simplified scoring – all to make tennis more fun the first time around.
The scaled-to-size equipment and smaller playing area allows kids to rally and play the game early on, increasing the likelihood that kids will return to the court and continue to improve. In addition, the new format allows for children to play anywhere – from your driveway, cul-de-sac, in the schoolyard or even against your garage door. Designed around the same concepts as Little League Baseball and other youth sports, such as soccer and basketball, the QuickStart Tennis play format gives kids a chance to achieve success the first time out —and sustain that success as they continue to develop and refine their skills.
