Patrick McEnroe, the brother of seven-time Grand Slam champion American John McEnroe, believes that the world number one Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka could easily be defeated by the best 17-year-old tennis player.
— The best 17-year-old tennis player in the world would beat Sabalenka 6-1, 6-1, — said Patrick to the authoritative publication Corriere dello Sport.
At the same time, McEnroe added that such a comparison makes no sense and his remark is not intended to belittle women's tennis, but merely emphasizes that it is incorrect to compare ATP and WTA.
In December 2025, world number one Aryna Sabalenka lost to Australian Nick Kyrgios 3-6, 3-6.
