John McEnroe Told to “Shut Up” During Heated Novak Djokovic-Taylor Fritz US Open Clash

“I think I’ve become a better player who can compete and create chances,” said Taylor Fritz ahead of his clash with nemesis Novak Djokovic. The Serbian, boasting a flawless 10-0 record over Fritz, remains an unshaken wall. Fritz wants to win, but stepping into the lion’s den has its price. Djokovic has torn down his defenses like crumbling towers, hunting his 11th straight triumph. And just when the tension peaked, John McEnroe stirred the pot with his commentary, only to be ripped apart by the community.

John McEnroe has been to tennis what Joe Rogan is to the UFC, a voice that defined the sport for years. But even legends have their expiry date, and lately, the tennis community has started noticing cracks in his commentary. At one point, McEnroe confidently stated, “Momentum killers, drop shots. Drive you absolutely crazy as a player.” Chris Fowler quickly chimed in, “So is a double fault, though.” McEnroe backtracked, insisting, “That’s what I said.” Fowler pressed him again, “I thought you said drop shots.” To which McEnroe awkwardly responded, “No.” 

This fallout during the live match caught fans off guard, as they told him to stay silent throughout the game. “McEnroe should just shut up all together but, alas, we are not that lucky,” wrote one netizen.
