The all-time tennis great said he would 'chat' with John McEnroe about his remarks
Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has vowed to speak to John McEnroe after the American accused him of getting preferential treatment from umpires on the ATP men's tour.
Suffering a blip in the first set, Nadal began his quest for a fifth US Open title by destroying 21-year-old wildcard rookie Rinky Hijikata 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 in the opening round on Tuesday.
McEnroe, himself a four-time men's singles winner at Flushing Meadows, has previously made the accusation on commentary duties – which Nadal was made aware of in his post-match press conference.
"I think it’s a joke," the Spaniard responded.
"I went through a lot of warnings in my tennis career. Never for breaking the racquet... but yes for the time clock.
"I have a problem that I am sweating a lot, and when you are playing a game during these very humid conditions, we have the biggest problem today," Nadal explained.
I don't know why John (Mcenroe) say that on the TV, I gonna have a chat with him later"
