This is what the 18-time Grand Slam winner said in an interview with the “Andrew Marr Show”. McEnroe said after Raducanu’s assignment at Wimbledon: “She got too emotional. It seems like it was too much for her.”
The 18-year-old held her stomach several times during the entire match and seemed to be hyperventilating, finally giving up against Tomljanović when the score was 4-6, 0-3. The next day she stated that she had “breathing problems” and that she believed that the whole experience would catch up with her.
Your job has been criticized by some. McEnroe noted that he didn’t want her to be like Naomi Osaka, who has been struggling with mental problems and media attention for a long time. The former tennis star hopes Raducanu would learn from these experiences.

In general, the 64-year-old was enthusiastic about the performance of the young Briton. Raducanu will not be disconcerted, it is unbelievable how well she has done at the US Open.
“She is 18, but there are no gaps in her game, and at 18 it is extraordinary, so impressive in every respect,” was the conclusion of the 18-time Grand Slam winner.
