McEnroe's doubts about Nadal for the US Open and Roland Garros

John McEnroe went through the BBC microphones to analyze what he expects the return of tennis to be. 'Big Mac' is cautious about Rafa Nadal's return as he believes Djokovic will better adapt to the rapid change from hard court to clay surface.

McEnroe hopes to see Djokovic in New York despite his initial criticism of the US Open, while also expecting problems for Nadal in his adaptation to the change of surfaces. “I hope Novak is well and able to compete in the US Open if he finally decides to do so. However, Rafa Nadal is one of those players who you think will have trouble changing from hard court to clay. It's something I don't usually do often. “

The American trusts that the great players of the circuit will attend the two Grand Slam that still have to play. “I think, and that's my feeling, that the great players will play the US Open and Roland Garros. They are still settling and I think that most of the great players and some of the young people are really looking forward to getting back on the track, competing and seeing what they can do. We are saying that two of the big three continue, it is a big problem for the players. But I think they've done it before and I don't think it affects more than a couple of players. “

McEnroe was also optimistic ahead of the US Open following the latest criticism of the tournament. “It would be interesting to see if some European tennis players decide not to come to the US Open because of the outbreaks but it seems that the situation in New York is much better. But nobody knows what may happen in the coming months. I think the US Open will be held and done in a way that ensures the safety of the players and the people who can access it. I'd be surprised if the best didn't play in New York. “
