"You don’t win a Grand Slam by luck, she can come back and challenge again": McEnroe backs Raducanu to return to top of women's tennis

Emma Raducanu will contest for Grand Slams again according to John McEnroe who believes that she has the talent needed to return to the top.

Emma Raducanu hasn't had much success since winning the US Open but John McEnroe believes in her. He believes far more after she proved him wrong at the US Open which he happily admitted. The American player questioned Raducanu after her Wimbledon retirement but admitted he was wrong when she won Wimbledon a few months later.

Speaking to tennis365, McEnroe said:

“I think the last year has been overwhelming, obviously. She has gone through a lot of changes in her life and now she has had issues with injuries. Everyone in the tennis world is hopeful that she can embrace what’s happening with her and hope that she gets back to the level she showed at the US Open. We just all want to see her compete and enjoy the challenge in front of her, I’m sure she can have a great year.”

He added that he believes she will contend for majors again:

“Ultimately, tennis is a competition and you have to find way to deal with that. I wish Emma all the best. Let’s put this on the record. You don’t win a Grand Slam by luck. She is great player and can come back and challenge again.”
