Next time on SNAP

Under fierce heat and building tension, John McEnroe battles an opponent that won’t react, officials that won’t bend, and conditions that won't yield. An unfavourable baseline call sparks a silent confrontation and a code violation. As patience wears thin, McEnroe plunges ahead unaware that the rules have changed, and he's a step closer to the edge than he realises.

Featuring (alphabetically): Gerry Armstrong, Peter Bellinger, Pat Cash, Jim Courier, Tim Henman, Di Larkin, John McEnroe, Patrick McEnroe, Paul McNamee, Mark Petchey, Barbara Schett, Sam Smith, and Todd Woodbridge.
