Patrick McEnroe can be heard hosting his own show on ESPN New York 98.7 Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon and as a fill-in host on the station during the week.

McEnroe, who enjoyed success playing tennis on both the collegiate and professional levels, serves as a tennis commentator for ESPN. He often serves as a match analyst, but also calls play-by-play  especially during the US Open when he is paired with his older brother John  and can be seen as either a studio host or analyst. He first worked for ESPN on a limited basis in 1995 and '96 before beginning a more extensive schedule of assignments in 1997. He also worked for CBS Sports from 1996 - 2008, most notably at the US Open.

McEnroe has also parlayed his experiences on and off the court around the sport  along with his personality, contacts and the respect he's earned  into important roles with the United States Tennis Association (USTA). In December 2000 was named the 38th U.S. Davis Cup captain, winning the title in 2007 for the first time since 1995. He resigned from that position in September 2010, having served in the role longer than anyone in history. In April 2008, he was named to the newly created position of General Manager, USTA Elite Player Development, as part of a new strategic direction for the development of future American champions. This initiative provides a greater focus on top American junior players and young pros. As such, he oversees the USTA's National Coaches and coaching program, as well as the USTA Training Centers in Boca Raton, Fla., and Carson, Calif. He also was coach of the 2004 U.S. Olympic men's tennis team.

Born July 1, 1966, the New York native was graduated from Stanford University in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in political science. He is married with three daughters.
