John McEnroe vs. Chuckie Finster

What the toddler is mad about: Tommy, Phil and Lil won't share their toys with Chuckie.
What the tennis player is mad about: The ball was called out when it was "clearly" in.

By now we all know Jonny Mac's epic US Open rant in 1981. A ball that he said hit the chalk was ruled out and he delivered his now famous "You cannot be serious" line. His fellow frizzy-haired counterpart, Chuckie Finster, asks his friends the same question when he can't join in on their fun.

Winner: McEnroe, always.

What the tennis player is mad about: After breaking all the rackets in his bag, Goran Ivanisevic is forced to forfeit.

In a 2000, match Croatian Wimbledon winner Goran Ivansevic was forced to concede his match after smashing every single racket in his bag. Meanwhile, Lily Tucker-Pritchett is giving some series attitude to the rest of her family.

What the tennis player is mad about: After being rattled by the crowd, Jeff Tarango takes out his frustrations on the official.
What the toddler is mad about: When isn't Stewie mad?

Winner: Tarango

Serena Williams vs. Pebbles Flintstone

What the toddler is mad about: Pebbles is not happy that she has to go to bed
What the tennis player is mad about: After being on the wrong end of too many bad calls, Serena loses it

In what is considered by many to be the second greatest tirade in tennis history behind McEnroe's, Serena goes HAM on an official at the 2009 US Open after one too many calls don't go her way. Speaking of HAM, Pebbles is none too happy that Wilma is making her go to bed so early.

Winner: Serena
