Speaking on the sidelines of his new documentary that debuted last week at the Tribeca Film Festival, the seven-time Grand Slam winner claimed Osaka’s media boycott at last year’s French Open has backfired as it has drawn more attention to her.
McEnroe added that Naomi Osaka is very important to the sport but went on to claim that everyone has their own way of dealing with pressure, which may or may not be healthy.
McEnroe also lamented the fact that not everyone can give “100 percent on the court” like Rafael Nadal.
