Nick Kyrgios has had an up and down career so far. Away from the field for over a year, the Australian is known as much for his prodigious talent as for his violent outbursts and chronic inconsistency. Nevertheless, Kyrgios has hung the biggest names on his table during his rise to the top, starting with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. In the podcast “Good problem with Nick Kyrgios” in the company of Naomi Osaka, the player looked back with humor on these victories.
“I don’t think Federer, Nadal or Djokovic ever thought they would lose to me. I think they look back and say, ‘How did we manage to lose to him?’ I think I will think about my lack of professionalism at the time. I wasn’t giving my all to the game, I wasn’t training all the time and that happened very early in my career. Beating Rafa, I was ranked 150 in the world and he was number 1 in the world, I think, at Wimbledon. It gave me the belief that I could do it, that I could make things happen and beat the best in the world. »
