Barry MacKay

Barry MacKay provides color commentary, play-by-play and lead analysis for Tennis Channel's coverage of the top tennis tournaments in the world. MacKay is an accomplished, versatile broadcaster with 30 years of experience off the court that has teamed him with Arthur Ashe, Bud Collins, Beth Herr, Leif Shiras, among others and made him the voice U.S. fans tuned to for events such as the US Open, Wimbledon and ATP tennis. On the court, MacKay enjoyed a 20-year career as both a top amateur and a professional tennis player, punctuated with five U.S. Davis Cup appearances (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960), the No. 1 U.S. ranking in 1960. He also was the first Big Ten player to win the NCAA tennis singles title. MacKay's ability to shift perspective from that of the player to that of the audience enables his trademark fan-friendly delivery and excellent, in-depth match coverage.

In addition to the broadcasting and athletic aspects of MacKay's career, the tennis veteran has served as tournament director and promoter for more than 12 annual events, highlighted by promoting two U.S. Davis Cup finals. As president of BMK Sports, MacKay is on the Board of Directors for Youth Tennis Advantage in Northern California.
