The next day papers stuck on him, not for the first time, the worst of tennis epithets: "Brat." Even Mr. Connors, who probably tortures insects in his spare time, informed Mr. McEnroe that he was upset. "Shut your mouth and play," he advised. It seems tennis players, like everyone else from Westchester, are supposed to be well-behaved. Confronted with raw broccoli hors d'oeuvres, it is regarded as impolite to make faces...
