John McEnroe believes Rafael Nadal is «absolutely the favourite» to end the year as world No. 1 ahead of the last major of the year at the US Open.

New York on Monday. The 25-year-old German needed surgery to fix damaged ligaments in his right ankle following a freak injury he suffered during this year's Roland Garros semi-final against Rafael Nadal. The US Open organisers confirmed on Monday that Zverev has withdrawn from the hardcourt Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows, where he finished runner-up behind Dominic Thiem in 2020.
John McEnroe has said it would be "a joke" if Novak Djokovic is unable to compete at the US Open later this month due to his Covid-19 vaccination status.
