Overview
- Video shows John McEnroe repeatedly declining a photo request at Melbourne Airport before telling a teenage fan to "go f*** yourself."
- The exchange began as McEnroe arrived with luggage and a guitar after commentating at the Australian Open and said "not right now" to initial approaches.
- As the fan followed and continued asking, McEnroe warned "I need you to stay away from me" and later shouted "Will you stop? Stop!"
- Staff and airport officials intervened to separate the pair as the situation escalated, according to multiple outlets citing the footage.
- Coverage notes no public apology, complaint, or legal action has been reported, with many reports contextualizing the incident with McEnroe's history of on‑court outbursts.
