John McEnroe, who coached the world team as captain, says that the ATP could have looked at the Prague Laver Cup weekend with much more precision.
John McEnroe seems to have done a good job of changing roles from a man who judges from far away matches back to the person who can influence the action on the sidelines.Last year, the US legend had already moved very close to the active tennis scene in Milos Raonic’s team, and McEnroe has been captain of the Laver Cup in Prague for three days with great dedication.
Especially in direct comparison with his European counterpart Björn Borg, whose calmness allowed the team around Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to recharge their batteries.
The three days of Prague will be a resounding success, and in 2018 Chicago will take revenge.There was no question about the seriousness of the players in all matches – Federer had said before the start of the event that the Laver Cup was by no means a show fight.Even more dedication would only be expected if the ATP would also reward the players’ efforts.With world ranking points.What the organizers of Metz and St.Petersburg, who had been fighting over the stars of the industry without a chance last week, would of course have a thorn in their side.John McEnroe doesn’t care.
“I think the ATP has made a mistake by not realizing from the beginning that this thing will be a big one,”the portal sport360. com quotes the American.But the ATP is now trying to counter its own competition, which I don’t even know what it is.”
But it would have been important to look at the Laver Cup from a short distance and say:”Look, it’s something important that could be really good for tennis,” said John McEnroe after the weekend in Prague:”I’ve experienced a lot of things, lots of incredible Davis Cup scenarios, I’ve seen a lot of great things.
