John McEnroe holds the electric guitar; treats Boris Becker to unexpected rock concert in the Bahamas

Boris Becker shared glimpses of John McEnroe reliving his music days. The American picked his guitar up and lit the night up with some music in the Bahamas, earning the praise of Becker in the process.

McEnroe, who is a huge fan of the rock and roll genre, used to be in a band called the Johnny Smythe band where he was the lead singer and guitarist. The name was seemingly inspired by his marriage to his second wife Patty Smythe, a popular American musician. He picked music up with the goal of making it as a musician and would play small gigs in cities where he was competing

The American recently reinvigorated his love for rock. Boris Becker, a former rival, took to Instagram to share some videos of John McEnroe singing in the Bahamas. The first story shows Becker alongwith McEnroe playing his electric guitar and singing behind him, along with the rest of the band. The German wrote in the caption:

"The great Johnny Mac."

In another story, Becker's camera was focused on McEnroe who seemed to have found his rhythm.

"The one and only," the 57-year-old wrote.

The American also performed at the Indian Wells Masters this year.

Back in the day, the two men's tennis legends shared an intense rivalry, meeting 10 times on the tour. The 65-year-old American recently revisited the time when the two engaged in a psychological battle when a documentary on the German's life was released last year.

In a clip from the documentary released last year, Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker, John McEnroe recalled how Becker used to have a fake cough, which he would frequently use. McEnroe said,

"I decided once when I played Boris in Paris, you know, cause he had this fake cough that he always did, and pretended like it wasn’t fake. And, like, he'd go....[coughing]."

However, McEnroe hilariously shared that he decided to copy the German every time he faked coughing in their psychological battle.

"You know, but it's like a break point down. You’re like, “Come on, Boris. You're better than that.” I'd had enough of it, so I decided every time he did it, I was going to do it."

The two men won 13 Grand Slams between them. Boris Becker is the overwhelming leader in Slam wins, with an 8-2 lead over John McEnroe.
