How a commentator can say “we don’t know Jarry but we’ll get to know him” is beyond ridiculous. 87 million people play tennis worldwide and this guy is the 28th best at it currently. #Wimbledon

One game into the Alcaraz vs. Arnaldi #USOpen fourth round, and John McEnroe has already called #61 Matteo Arnaldi "totally unknown."
This is a problem in a lot of sports commentating but especially in tennis. It’s not cute when a professional, highly-paid “tennis analyst” doesn’t know who a top 100 player is and doesn’t make any effort to find out. What are we paying you for?
I never heard of him or forgot his name - I think John is there for color, a champion’s perspective and love of the game - not a deep dive into newer players - just my thought

Hate how so many of these commentators know nothing about guys transitioning from Challengers and basically outside of the top 50
hahaah typical Johnny unless you are a top 10 player, you might as well not play tennis hahaha
