NEW YORK — John McEnroe needed no more convincing that his tennis career is over than the cannonade of shots, Jim Courier whizzed past him.
The Associated Press
Courier convinced him at the U.S. Open on Monday with serves that nearly tare the racket out of McEnroe's hand, with ground strokes he couldn't touch, with volleys he leaped at and barely reached. He convinced McEnroe with two brutal sets that exposed his lost skills at 33 and confirmed the strength and talent of the 22-year-old No. 1 player.
McEnroe toys with retirement
the top guys are clearly a step ahead of me. It is not really a difficult decision.
Courier took target practice at McEnroe, pinning him on the baseline, forcing him to dash side to side and drawing groans and gasps as he lunged in vain after hard, deep shots.
Courier convinced him, finally, in a tie-breaker that McEroue had fought his hardest to reach, scrapping and screaming and summoning up all he had left, only to get blown out in a hurry. And when it ended, Courier went into the quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) victory. McEroue was left a fourth-round loser, and he knew as did his 20,000 fans in the stadium that this might be his last match here.
"The bottom line is just that I am not as good as the top players. I am a step below the top players. If they are on top of the game, and I am on top of the game, it appears that I come up short."
"Oh, definitely," said McEenroe, who won the last of his four Open titles in 1984. "This is a pretty clear indication that Jim has outplayed me and that
McEnroe's magic moments were rare — the occasional leap overhead, the few drop volleys, the odd chin that deepened his conviction to quit.
It was a turtuous end for the tormented genius of tennis, his popup shots no match for Courier's heavy artillery, his rage in the final set reduced to a pathetic tirade against a court-side photographer.
"I am not going to say it's an easy decision, but it is pretty clear that after all this ... based on where I was hoping to get to, that it is not that tough."

Former Nebraska back will not face charges
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said that he had visited Baldwin on Sunday and that Baldwin had said he remembered almost everything that had happened Saturday night.
The Associated Press
St. Joseph Hospital spokeswoman Mary Vodicka said Baldwin, 23, may be paralyzed from the waist down, but doctors were leaving it up to the family whether to release more information about his condition.
OMAHA, Neb. — No charges will be filed against former Nebraska running back Scott Baldwin or the police officers involved in the shooting that may have left him paralyzed.
holsters. The second officer heard the first say Baldwin tried to take the gun. The second officer pulled her pistol and shot Baldwin, Skinner said.
Douglas County Attorney Jim Jansen said yesterday that charges would not be filed against Baldwin
and there was no apparent wrongdoing by the two police officers involved.
"He remembers even the gun against his back," Osborne said. "I think after he was shot he felt relieved because he thought he was going to die."
On Saturday night, two officers responded to a 111 call that indicated Baldwin had jumped out of a car and was seen walking made in the street.
"I have determined there won't be any criminal charges filed against him. Under the facts and actions, I don't feel that will be warranted." Jansen said.
"In regard to possible inappropriate action by the police officers, I don't think there is anything I can see in my reports to indicate they acted improperly. The facts and apparent circumstances certainly warranted the use of deadly force under the circumstances."
Baldwin was under court-supervised outpatient treatment for severe depression after being found not responsible by reason of insanity in the January beating of a woman and police officer.
The officers found Baldwin trying to enter a residence, and a scuffle followed, according to police chief Jim Skinner. He said Baldwin tried to wrestle a gun from one of the officers'
