Playing at the French Open, it is not easy to face the local players. Ask the Spanish star, Jaume Munar, who had a tough time earlier today during his match against Arthur Fils. The Frenchman is the biggest French hope in the tournament and obviously, the crowd had to be vocal in support of him. This sparked a wild reaction from him after the match, to which American tennis legend John McEnroe had an interesting reaction.
Following his five-set victory over the Spaniard, Fils took off his shirt and sparked wild celebration. Against the run of play, Fils took the fifth set 6-4 to seal the contest after Munar had won the third and the fourth sets. Fils, widely known for his big serve and athletic body, was praised by McEnroe after the match.
The American legend revealed, “If I had a body like that I would take my shirt off also.” During his playing days, McEnroe was also known for his unconventional style of celebration and it is no surprise that he could engage in such celebration as done by Fils today.
