Former world number one John McEnroe has criticised the
coach of Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz for talking too much. The 21-year-old is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, along with Carlos
Alcaraz.
Alcaraz is currently taking part in the French Open, where he
has already booked his place in the fourth round after registering a thumping
win in the round of 32 against Spain’s Sebastian Korda in straight sets with a
score of 6-4, 7-6, 6-3. Seven-time Grand Slam winner McEnroe was recently
quoted in a report where he criticises the coach of Alcaraz, Juan Carlos
Ferrero, for talking too much during the match. "Never heard a coach I
don't think, maybe Tsitsipas' old man but there's a lot of talking going on,”
he said.
Alcaraz is going through a mixed season. The two-time Grand
Slam winner’s best moment in 2024 came while playing at the Indian Wells, where
he lifted the title after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in straight sets
with a score of 7-6, 6-1. However, since then, he has struggled with fitness
concerns, which is why he ended up withdrawing from the Barcelona Open,
Monte-Carlo Masters and the Rome Open.

- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
- LOL. Billie Jean King hates being a woman.
- Pulling out a tournament is not illegal. Therefore, that is no problem. Maybe they need more rest.
