John McEnroe had won seven majors and was ranked No. 1 in the world (from 1981 to 1984) when he took a six-month break from the tour and married the "Bad News Bears" actress in 1986. Unfortunately, it was also bad news for his tennis career. He never reached the finals of a Grand Slam ever again and won just seven titles after winning 70 prior to his marriage. The two divorced in 1992 and later trashed each other in tell-all books.
