(Reuters) - John McEnroe says the ATP Tour must consider reviewing its schedule in a bid to cut down on injuries after Canadian Milos Raonic joined the list of top players sitting out the U.S. Open.

While Raonic (wrist) is expected to rejoin the Tour later in the year, the three other high-profile absentees from Flushing Meadows -- Novak Djokovic (elbow), Kei Nishikori (wrist) and Stan Wawrinka (knee) -- have been ruled out for the rest of the season.
