I'm sure no one ever went easy on him because John McEnroe was his brother, quite the opposite probably.A.

Yet he's been paid over $600k/year by the USTA to work part time - it just blows the mind. <br />My favorite part of this article is the he doesn't want to be "the brother of..." He doesn't owe his career to espn, he owes it to being "the brother of..."! That's why he has the espn gig and all the other gigs. Lol that he won't acknowledge that as if his career is based on his own merit. <br /> I can't imagine anyone having any interest in this book, and Agassi for sure is many times the man in terms of having made his own success (at whatever cost) as a player and now in public service as well as no doubt many times the bookseller.Texastennismomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-71725039626014129522010-04-29T20:36:58.161-04:002010-04-29T20:36:58.161-04:00Once Collette posts something on Patrick McEnroe o...Once Collette posts something on Patrick McEnroe or Jose Higeuras, there is always an idiot or two who bashes them and they hide with a different name. <br /><br />I'm sick and tired of the nonsense of Patrick McEnroe. He does ALOT of good for US Tennis. Of course Andre will sell more copies, thanks for pointing out the obvious. At least he is out there trying extremely hard helping ustennis. What are you doing amtex, except criticize? <br /><br />I beleive Jose Higueras knows alot about coaching. Sure there are other top coaches who have developed players: Robert Vanhof, Rick Macci, Robert Landsdorp, Tarik Benabilis, Pete Fisher, Dick Gould, and Wayne Bryan. Help with others who have developed world-class players. 99.9% of the coaches in this country have NOT developed a world class player.<br /><br />I think US Tennis is dry right now but with stuff like quickstart and the regional training centers bringing players training together, the USA will be extremely competitive again in a few years. <br /><br />Actually amtex your posts are getting quite old and tiring.Tennis Gurunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-280825409728462702010-04-29T19:15:24.549-04:002010-04-29T19:15:24.549-04:00Brent, Talking about the negativity with the racke...Brent, Talking about the negativity with the racket throwing and constant mumbling with some swear words at times.

Knowing he is in charge of junior development, with his arrogance and zero track record of ever finding or developing a top player is sad for the future of American tennis. And don't worry about "going there" Pat. Andre's book will outsell your 10000/1 because he dared to tell the truth and has actually accomplished something in tennis. I can't imagine 200 people outside of his friends and family who would care enough to buy his book. I am sorry, both McEnroes acts are old and tired.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602004656204639734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-82746190694955348992010-04-28T23:59:57.385-04:002010-04-28T23:59:57.385-04:00watched it - curious what you mean by Harrison ...watched it - curious what you mean by Harrison 'needs to clean up his act'?Brentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-74312172351152268612010-04-28T22:42:32.477-04:002010-04-28T22:42:32.477-04:00@A.Meek,
