The worst tennis memory of John McEnroe's tennis career came in Paris when he lost the 1984 French Open Final to Ivan Lendl after being just two games from the title. But McEnroe, who is a commentator for NBC at the tourney, did win the 1977 mixed doubles title with broadcast partner Mary Carillo and now can add this to his treasure trove of Paris moments: he received the Philippe Chatrier award - the International Tennis Federation's highest honor - at a gala dinner Tuesday night.
A seven-time Grand Slam winner, McEnroe won 155 singles and doubles titles and represented the United States in Davis Cup tennis for 12 years.
Roger Federer and Justine Henin received singles awards as ITF world champions for 2006. Doubles champions Bob and Mike Bryan, and Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur, also received awards.
