"I've watched you on TV... until I can get to the off button": McEnroe trolled by BBC colleague Pat Cash in brutal comment

Former world number one America’s John McEnroe was trolled by his BBC colleague Pat Cash ahead of the Wimbledon 2023 final.

The third Grand Slam of the year is set to conclude today (Sunday) with a mouthwatering finale between world number one Carlos Alcaraz and defending champion Novak Djokovic.

Before the final started, McEnroe took a jibe at Cash and stated "Cashy it's great to see you in person, I've watched you on TV but it is great to see you guys".

In response to that, the 1987 Wimbledon champions stated that he only watches McEnroe until he manages to turn off the TV. “Likewise, I've watched you on TV... until I can get to the off button," said the 58-year-old.

McEnroe remains one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era.

The 64-year-old won seven Grand Slam titles in the men’s singles category in his illustrious career which lasted for 16 years.

Other than that, McEnroe also went on to win three Wimbledon titles in his career in 1981, 1983 and 1984.
