Battle Of The Macs: Rory and John To Have Tennis "Knock-up"

An unbylined Belfast Telegraph story on the latest thrill from Rory's post-U.S. Open victory tour.

Fun loving US Open champion Rory McIlroy will today celebrate a career high golf ranking of third in the world - by having a "knock-up" with tennis legend John McEnroe at Wimbledon.

McEnroe, still famous for his 'You cannot be serious' Wimbledon rant 30 years ago, threw down the challenge to tennis fan Rory via social network site Twitter.

McIlroy has been on a week long party with friends and pop stars Olly Murs and JLS since his sensational victory at Congressional Golf Club last weekend.

I'm glad to see Rory taking some time out for fun after his win. Too many winners immediately start chasing the buck and wear themselves out.
I just hope he doesn't change his swing or his equipment.
