John McEnroe isnt willing to apologize for his controversial remarks about Serena Williams.

No, he replied, as shown in a clip from the interview below.

Inthe full segment, McEnroe stated, It was not necessary.

I didnt know it would create controversy.

He then tried to clarify, That doesnt mean I dont think Serena is an incredible player.

He reiterated that point onCBS This Morning.

Ive never played anyone ranked there nor do I have time.

Respect me and my privacy as Im trying to have a baby.

Serena has a way with words, McEnroe said when Williams tweets were read aloud on CBS.

I dont want anything to go wrong with Serena because shes pregnant, he added.

I dont want to upset her or whatever it was.
