" Despite better-than-ever talent, today&amp;#039;s pro tennis is about as must-see as a Chris Kattan movie. To avoid going the way of the NHL, the sport needs a savior, or at least a few good ideas. Well, here&amp;#039;s the shocker: John McEnroe has an opinion on the matter. So we asked the Mac, who&amp;#039;s got a new talk show on CNBC (called, simply, McEnroe), how he&amp;#039;d resurrect the game. \u00BB Bring back wooden rackets. &amp;quot;The sweet spot&amp;#039;s smaller, so players need to be more precise.&amp;quot; \u00BB Play let serves. &amp;quot;Quickens the pace, adds excitement.&amp;quot; \u00BB Move the service line up an inch. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;d make the serve less important.&amp;quot; \u00BB All tosses should be hit. &amp;quot;If they throw the toss up, it&amp;#039;s going to be a fault if they catch it. You&amp;#039;re slowing the match down.&amp;quot;  \u00BB Let the coaches on the court. &amp;quot;It may be worth it--particularly if it raises up the play.&amp;quot; \u00BB Players have to be accessible to fans. &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t tell me that tennis players can&amp;#039;t make themselves more available.&amp;quot;  \u00BB Have an off-season. &amp;quot;The season should be no more than nine months, maximum, maybe eight. Players can rest their bodies. Fans can refuel their interest.&amp;quot; \u00BB Get a commissioner. &amp;quot;Mac for commissioner.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
