Media Notes: John McEnroe Hopes To Change Name Of Eurosport Tennis Show

John McEnroe kicked off a campaign to change the name of Eurosport's flagship tennis show, "Game, Set and Mats." The program would be renamed "Game, Schett and Mats" to acknowledge the role played by Mats Wilander's partner-in-crime, host Barbara Schett. On a special edition of McEnroe's commissioner episode which aired on Sunday during "Game, Set and Mats," McEnroe called for fans to show their support for the initiative via social media platforms (Eurosport).
