John McEnroe rips French Open over Rafael Nadal decision that led to horror draw
McEnroe addresses Nadal having to play Alexander Zverev in the French Open first round.
https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/n ... rror-draw/
'“It makes no sense that someone who has won 14 times is not seeded. It is the way the tournament has always acted. For me it is crazy,” the American told the media, as quoted by Marca.
“It is the most interesting first round of a Major that I remember and the most tough [in the] Open Era for someone like Nadal.”
...
“He has to do whatever he wants. He loves to compete and if he loses to Zverev it does not mean that all his records at Roland Garros will be lost. Maybe his time has come to be a father and everyone’s time has come," McEnroe added.
“Maybe I’m wrong and he’ll be able to do something special here. It’s a question mark as to how his body will recover as the rounds go by.
“On the one hand it will be a surprise, and on the other it won’t. People like him, Novak or Roger are Superman.”
...
"It's not ideal the first match, because I feel competitive to have this match later in the tournament, but it's how it is. I need to be ready since the beginning. Let's see," Nadal noted.'

The more ridiculous is not giving Dominic Thiem a wildcard entry into the tournament.K wrote:John McEnroe rips French Open over Rafael Nadal decision that led to horror draw
He was forced to go through the Qualifiers, but didn't advance to the main draw unfortunately.

Probably the match of the tournament so far between Swiatek and Osaka the other night.
