McEnroe told the fan to \u201cgo f\u2013k yourself\u201d after they followed him through the airport and demanded photos, despite the tennis legend repeatedly denying the request.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you need a hand with any of your bags?\u201d the fan asked, as seen in a now-viral video online. <\/p>\n
\u201cI need you to stay away from me, OK,\u201d McEnroe, 66, replied as he walked into the airport carrying a backpack, a guitar and a roller suitcase.<\/p>\n
The fan continued following McEnroe, who was being escorted by security, and seemingly was recording on a phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis guy \u2014 just get away, OK?\u201d McEnroe said to his security. \u201cCan we stop him?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoa, woah, hold up. Everyone, stop. Time\u2019s up.\u201d<\/p>\n
