Born Rockstar! American tennis legend, John McEnroe, always had this unique ability of taking the stages on fire. Be it on-court or off-court, he never fails to entertain the crowd! Just a few days ago, we saw his long-time rival and close friend Boris Becker enjoying his musical concert in the Bahamas. Becker even posted a few pictures on his IG stories, where the American was seen playing his electric guitar and singing behind him. Now, yet another tennis star expressed his amazement at John McEnroe’s musical skills! Eugenie Bouchard shared a few glimpses of McEnroe’s musical concert at the Rosewood Bahar Mar on her IG stories.

In November this year, Baha Mar (the Caribbean’s leading luxury resort destination) announced their partnership with the tennis legend, John McEnroe. Talking about this fresh addition, the president of Baha Mar, Graeme Davis, said, “John McEnroe is an icon, and his legacy in the tennis world is extraordinary. We are proud to partner with him and bring the John McEnroe Tennis Center at Baha Mar to life.” What did McEnroe say about this partnership? 

I’m extremely excited to launch this groundbreaking partnership agreement with Baha Mar. This incredible destination is the perfect stage to share my passion and love for the game, and I can’t wait to inspire players of all ages and levels – from novices to future champions,” said McEnroe. The 65-year-old American formed a music group, ‘The Johnny Smyth Band’ after his retirement. He was the lead singer and lead guitarist in the band. Although the band dissolved in 1997, his inclinations toward music remained intact.
