Who Are The Most Controversial Tennis Player Ever?

It is normal for emotions to run wild in competitive sports. However, tennis manages to stand out in this regard because of the sheer number of controversial tennis players out there.
John McEnroe

John McEnroe was an excellent tennis player. For proof, look no further than the fact that he won seven Grand Slams, which isn't even mentioning how he has won more singles and doubles titles than any other male tennis player of the Open Era. Despite this, McEnroe is often remembered because of his very confrontational behavior, which got him embroiled in more than one tennis controversy.
Jimmy Connors

Speaking of which, Jimmy Connors would be the male tennis player with the most singles titles. He was infamous for having a bad temper, which caused some people to love him and other people to loathe him. Moreover, Connors had fierce rivalries with multiple tennis players, with McEnroe being one of them. As such, their match-ups were often memorable, though not necessarily for the right reasons.
Ilie Nastase

Ilie Nastase is another excellent tennis player who can claim to be one of the most controversial tennis players ever. To name an example of his tennis controversies, he went into a match with Arthur Ashe while wearing black-face. Unfortunately, Nastase is still getting into trouble, as shown by a recent suspension from 2017 to 2021 because of poor conduct.
