Nick Kyrgios has been away from the courts for a long time, specifically since June of this year when he played in Stuttgart. With his ankle and wrist problems, Kyrgios does not set a date for his return. However, he has time for talks about his personal life and career. Together with Mike Tyson, the Australian shared some reflections on the ‘Big 3’.
-His victory against Federer in Madrid 2015
“I think my most memorable win was probably when I beat Roger Federer for the first time, that was the most memorable. I didn’t party afterward because I had to play the next day. I was 19 and I didn’t like it very much, I still don’t like it.” “He was big on the scene,” he said. Nick Kyrgios to the podcast Hotboxin’ con Myke Tyson.
– On drinking alcohol before facing Nadal at Wimbledon 2019
“There were nights I was in a pub until four in the morning before I played Rafa at Wimbledon one year. My old agent had to drag me out of the pub. I lost in a tough four-set battle, but yeah, I feel “That wouldn’t have hurt me to get a little sleep at eleven at night.”
– More praise for Djokovic and opinion of the ‘Big 3’
“He is the best of all time, he has 24 Grand Slams and I think he will win a couple more. He is crazy. But I think he doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
I faced Nadal very well. I had the most success against him, but he has still beaten me many times. Federer could make you feel really bad. No matter where in the world you faced him, he was a fan favorite. Play against him in Europe, America, Australia… everyone wanted Federer to win all the time. I think Novak is the best of all time, but for me Federer was the most difficult to face. Something about him was very aggressive and didn’t leave you much room to breathe.”
– On being compared to basketball player Dennis Rodman
“I think it’s great. I feel like my athletes are Allen Iverson or Dennis Rodman, guys like that, who did it their own way. Being compared to Dennis Rodman I like. When I first think of Rodman, I think of someone who feels completely comfortable with himself, that he played the game he wanted to and didn’t really care what other people thought.”
