John McEnroe has suggested Emma Raducanu's struggles since winning the 2021 US Open are because she did not have the time to grow and mature by attending university.
Raducanu, 20, was still a teenager when winning at Flushing Meadows and has not come close to reaching those heights again in the two years since. This year she will not be able to repeat her fairytale run to the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2021 due to ankle and wrist surgery sidelining the starlet for the whole grass-court season.
After her US Open victory, Raducanu has not advanced past the second round at a Grand Slam. She is now outside the top 100 for the first time since triumphing at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
