‘It’s a Disgrace’ – John McEnroe’s ‘Sick’ Commentary Act at the Australian Open Erupts Tennis Fans

John McEnroe, as a commentator, is currently covering the match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Zizou Bergs. Since Bergs is currently ranked at 120, McEnroe is unable to fill his gaps in knowledge, along with the pronunciation of his name. After seeing him that way, fans are pretty much blaming him for not doing enough research about the match.

John McEnroe provides his insights and knowledge of the sport to cover various tournaments throughout the year. As he is in the ESPN booth for the Australian Open, tennis fans are irritated at him for not knowing the players who are further down the ranking order. 

Fans lambast John McEnroe for being unaware of lower-ranked players

Tsitsipas is ranked 7, which means much of the world is tuning in to his bout. As it is being covered by McEnroe, many fans are irked with his statements. Thai-Son Kwiatkowski ranked 316 and took to ‘X’ to share his disappointment with the Superbrat.

He wrote, “Insane to me that time and time again J. McEnroe goes on air and just admits he has zero clue who a player is. (Today, bergs, 120 atp) just says to the world, hey guys, I’ve done zero research for my job and I’m just going to disrespect someone who’s top 150 in the world at a job”. Noticing his comments, fans shared their own frustrations with the American legend.

One user agreed with the poster saying it was terrible, and further pointed out how his fellow commentators never said anything to him.

One fan pointed out how they were cringing while hearing him try to pronounce the name Zizou Bergs.

A listener said that they, along with the rest, were tired of McEnroe’s behavior.

One fan said that McEnroe was guilty of not knowing the names of lesser-ranked players. They also said that he was guilty of blocking the positions of better commentators, such as Nick McCarvel and Nicholas Monroe.

One fan pointed out how McEnroe has been guilty of this for years and how oblivious he is to players outside of the top 50. They further called it a disgrace and an insult to tennis fans that he was covering so many matches.

McEnroe has found himself on the bad side of the tennis fan base like he often used to during his prime. The former foul-mouthed player may or may not take notice of the comments on social media, but tennis fans will not forget the issues as long as he continues to cover the sport.
