John McEnroe isn’t mincing words with Emma Raducanu.
After winning last year’s U.S. Open in stunning fashion as an 19-year-old, Raducanu has wallowed in tournaments since; that stretch includes a“She won the U.S. Open from the qualifying , of course there is a lot of expectation coming from that,” McEnroe said on BBC. “I suppose nerves play a part in injury. She is 19 years old. She should be able to deal with that very quickly. I hope some big things happen in the future, but you gotta start believing.
“She won the U.S. Open. Some slouch doesn’t win the U.S. Open. She’s a great player. You’ve got to look at it like that — not, ‘I’m inexperienced.’ I’m not totally buying that part.”McEnroe has become a frequent critic of Raducanu“There’s no pressure,” she said Wednesday. “Like why is there any pressure? I’m still 19. Like, it’s a joke. I literally won a slam.
“Yes, I have had attention. But I’m a slam champion, so no one’s going to take that away from me. Yeah, if anything, the pressure is on those who haven’t done that.”
