John McEnroe has blasted the British media for how they treated him during his playing career - and has warned Emma Raducanu it may be even worse for her.
Raducanu has struggled since that 2021 Grand Slam triumph, crashing out in the second round of Wimbledon this year and failing to land a WTA Tour title since her fairy-tale run in New York.
Speaking about the media pressure from the British press Raducanu has faced and will continue to face as she looks to get back to her top level, McEnroe told‘It got to the stage that I thought if I ever win Wimbledon I’m never coming back, to hell with these people. ‘It so happened when I won it first the first time that I felt I could fly out of the stadium because the high was so great and I thought maybe I want to come back.‘It may be worse for [Emma Raducanu] because she is living it day in, day out. But I am pulling for her. We all are. Maybe she can use that to her advantage somehow.’
