Alexander Zverev wins the US Open final, but John McEnroe faces backlash for comments he makes immediately after the match. Multiple outlets report that McEnroe’s remarks mention Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner soon after Zverev’s victory.
The criticism focuses on the style and tone of McEnroe’s public comments. The Mirror describes the reaction as outrage over “unprofessional” remarks, while the New York Post says McEnroe is “blasted” for belittling comments made moments after the trophy presentation. In both accounts, the dispute centers less on the result of the final and more on how McEnroe frames the performances of other top players.
The reports agree on the basic sequence: the US Open final ends with Zverev as champion, McEnroe comments afterward, and those remarks trigger negative responses from some observers. However, the sources differ in how they characterize the comments—using labels such as unprofessional or belittling—without adding a detailed, fully quoted transcript of what was said in the articles provided.
