- Teenager retired with medical issue during Wimbledon match
- Commentator speculated that she could not handle situation
The BBC commentator John McEnroe has come under fire after suggesting that Emma Raducanu found playing in the last 16 of Wimbledon “a little too much” after she retired from the match on medical grounds.
The three-times men’s champion was criticised by Raducanu’s opponent, Ajla Tomljanovic, as well as by doctors on social media after suggesting the 18-year-old from Britain had not been able to handle the occasion.
