Before turning professional, McNair played tennis for the University of North Carolina, where he was a four-time All-American and an NCAA doubles finalist in 1973.
McNair comes from a tennis playing family. His grandfather, Frederick V. McNair Jr., and father, Fred III, both played in the U.S. Championships (now known as the US Open). Fred III and Fred IV formed a father-son doubles team which won six U.S. national father and son doubles championship titles.
Since retiring from the tennis tour, McNair has become the president of McNair & Company Inc., a family practice founded by his grandfather in 1931 which uses life insurance in estate planning and executive benefits arena. He won the United States Tennis Association 35-over tennis title in 1989 and 40-over title in 1995.
McNair's father Frederick V. McNair III, grandfather Frederick V. McNair Jr., and great-grandfather Frederick V. McNair Sr., all graduated from the United States Naval Academy. His uncle Jamshidi "Jim" Bakhtiar worked as a psychiatrist and he was a fullback/placekicker at the University of Virginia. Jim was selected by the Football Writers Association of America as a first-team back on its 1957 College Football All-America Team.[1][2] His sister Lailee Bakhtiar, née McNair, is a writer and a niece of Laleh Bakhtiar, who was an author and psychologist.
