John McEnroe admitted he wants Cori “Coco” Gauff to lose to Naomi Osaka in the third round of the US Open and believes a win for the 15-year-old American would be ‘bad for tennis’.
“Coco Mania” has swept around New York after back-to-back wins on home soil – following up her surging run through qualifying to the fourth round of Wimbledon – and she will now make her debut on Arthur Ashe Stadium against world No. 1 and defending champion Osaka on Saturday night.
While the home crowd will no doubt be desperate to see Gauff pull off another major upset and storm into the last-16, McEnroe confessed he hopes she is brought to a grinding halt by the Japanese.
‘I hope Coco Gauff loses tomorrow, personally,’ McEnroe told ESPN. ‘I actually think it would be bad for the sport of tennis if the defending champion who is struggling – I know she’s got a knee issue – but that would be devastating to her and she’s the one we were talking about last year like Coco Gauff – if Coco Gauff at 15 can beat the defending champion, break down the defending champion…
‘In my opinion, too much too soon, less is more… hopefully her parents are taking it slow because to me in four or five years, she’s going to be world No. 1.’ ‘What are the odds of her being able to – if she were hypothetically to win a US Open – be able to maintain something like that with all the expectations that were put on her and everything that comes with that? I’d say like a million to one.
‘I’m sorry. I remember when I got to the Wimbledon semis when I was 18, I was happy I lost to [Jimmy] Connors. It gave me a chance to reflect, look back, go to Stamford for a year, prepare myself for the pro tour – the best thing I ever did for my personal career.
‘I’m just saying. She shouldn’t be as good as Osaka yet at 15.’
However, while he hopes his compatriot crashes out, McEnroe believes the upset is well and truly on the cards.
‘I think she’s got a good shot,’ he added. ‘Osaka is hurt and mentally she fired her coach after winning two Slams. To me, she’s got a real chance.’ Watch video below:
