Former world number one John McEnroe is set to miss the ESPN coverage of the US Open after testing positive for Covid-19.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year has begun in New York where players from all over the world are participating to showcase their talent.
McEnroe was set to feature in the ESPN coverage of the mega-event but he announced that he will miss the event after testing positive for Coronavirus.
“Unfortunately, after feeling a bit under the weather, I tested positive for COVID,” he said. “I’m watching the U.S. Open from home and can’t wait to get back to work soon.”
McEnroe is one of the most seasoned tennis broadcaster and him missing the event’s coverage will be a severe blow.
The 64-year-old, who became world number one in March 1980, won seven Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career.
His first major singles title was in 1979 when he won the US Open after beating fellow American Vitas Gerulaitis in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-3, 6-3.
His last big title also came while playing in New York in 1984 when he got the better of Czech Republic’s Ivan Lendl in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-1.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
