Interviewed in 2007, MacKay recalled his playing career: "I won the NCAAs in Salt Lake City in June of 1957. I unfortunately missed my graduation at Michigan Stadium because of it, but I got my diploma eventually. Then I played amateur tennis. In those days, there were two games – there was professional tennis and there was amateur tennis – and there was no open tennis as we know it today. I played amateur tennis for the next three summers and represented the United States on our Davis Cup team. I actually played my first Davis Cup match while I was still at Michigan in the summer of 1956. The United States won the Davis Cup in 1958 in Australia, and I was ranked No. 1 in the United States in 1960, and then I turned professional. In those days, that meant you went onto the Jack Kramer Tour because that was the only professional tour. That was where we played across the country and across the world. I signed a professional contract with Kramer and played pro tennis from 1961-63. Since there really wasn’t a future in professional tennis in those days, I migrated to California in 1964. I actually started working for Jack Kramer in what was then called the International Professional Tennis Tour. I’ve been in California ever since. I worked with Jack through the late 60’s. In 1970, I took over what was called the Pacific Coast Championships in Berkeley, here in Northern California. Our first winner was ]; our next winner was ]. After that, the tournament became the major tennis event in Northern California. I started my own company in ’73 called BMK Sports, and that company now puts on the major event of the year. Plus, I did a lot of television commentary and that sort of thing. It all fits under one big umbrella."
