John McEnroe doesn't always get it right in the commentary box (Image: Getty) A Wimbledon star who was 'disrespected' by tennis legend John McEnroe will be eager to make a proper name for himself at the All England Club next month. Nicolas Jarry, who's ranked No. 19 in the world, infamously caught McEnroe off guard during last year's tournament at SW19 after meeting eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in the third round.
Ahead of the tie, which Alcaraz won in four sets, McEnroe said from the commentary box: "We don’t know Jarry but we’ll get to know him." He was roundly blasted on social media for the comment, with fans accusing the American of failing to do his homework.
