McEnroe Faces Two-Month Penalty Review At Wimbledon
Wimbledon reports reveal John McEnroe's final win over Bjorn Borg but stirs ongoing trouble. The International Tennis Council will study All England Club reports on on court conduct with possible fines up to 14500 dollars and suspension up to a year, though a severe penalty is unlikely. McEnroe, 22, claimed the title after beating Borg in four sets, amid prior incidents including arguing with officials and a press conference clash. The council will not convene before the U S Open, which McEnroe has won the previous two years.
