John McEnroe has insisted Novak Djokovic is the world’s No. 1 tennis player, even if he is dislodged by Daniil Medvedev. With Djokovic absent from the Australian Open, he will lose all the points he gained when he won the final 12 months ago.
John McEnroe has described Rafael Nadal as one of the most phenomenal athletes of all time and a freak individual, but is concerned the 35-year-old's body could be a worry in his Australian Open semi-final with Matteo Berrettini. Nadal has been in excellent form in what is his first Grand Slam since picking up an injury in last year’s French Open, but he was pushed to the limit by Denis Shapovalov in the quarter-finals. Ad/> Nadal required treatment for a stomach problem, and his camp revealed he lost a huge amount of weight during the gruelling five-set encounter.
John McEnroe thinks it would be “unbelievable” if Roger Federer could return to his highest level again – but does not want to see him on tour playing at “80 per cent”. Federer, 40, returned from a lengthy lay-off in March last year but only played 13 matches before shutting down his season. Ad/> He has since undergone another knee surgery and has suggested he will not be ready to return in time for Wimbledon this year.
John McEnroe expects Serena Williams to make at least one more “real run” at winning a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title. Williams, 40, has been stuck on 23 majors since winning the Australian Open in 2017, just six months before she gave birth to daughter Olympia.
John McEnroe has stressed the importance of tennis finding new personalities as Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer enjoy the twilight of their careers. The American seven-time major champion was responding to Nick Kyrgios’ claim that the sport is too transfixed with the ‘Big Three’ and has not done enough to promote new stars. Ad/> Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have won 60 Grand Slam singles titles between them – incredibly all tied on 20 each.
Alize Cornet is “better than she has ever been” and is now a serious threat at Grand Slams, according to seven-time major winner John McEnroe. Despite appearing in 60 consecutive Slams – two off the all-time record held by Ai Sugiyama – Cornet is gearing up for her maiden major quarter-final at the Australian Open. Ad/> The Frenchwoman, who has already knocked out third seed Garbine Muguruza and former finalist Simon Halep in 2022, faces Danielle Collins on Rod Laver Arena on Thursday.
Rafael Nadal has made it to the semi-finals at the Australian Open, despite being out of the game for four months last season with a foot injury.
Rafael Nadal could emulate his great rival, Roger Federer, by completing his 'amazing' comeback from injury at the Australian Open, according to John McEnroe. Nadal was forced into five gruelling sets by Denis Shapovalov, but the 20-time Grand Slam champion ultimately showed the greater desire to outlast his doughty opponent and sealed his place in his 36th major semi-final in four hours and 10 minutes. Ad/> The Spanish star is now through to the semi-finals at Melbourne Park for the seventh time in his illustrious career after battling past the Canadian, 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-3, despite being ranted at for time-wasting by his opponent in a fiery exchange which involved the umpire being accused of being «corrupt».
