Nick Kyrgios about Rafael Nadal
After the match, Nick commented
“I left it all out there. I can’t be too disappointed. A couple points here or there. He’s a champion. He played well in those moments. That’s why he’s one of the greatest there is.
I think just his ability; he plays every point. He doesn’t take one point off. I feel like we’re the polar opposites. I struggle so hard to just play every point with a routine, have the same patterns. His 1-2 punch, his first serve, and his first forehand, is probably the best 1-2 punch in the world, apart from Federer. His ability to bring it every day and compete, it’s special. It’s not easy.”
After this match, Nadal leads Kyrgios 4-3 in H2H matches and the Spanish sensation will play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the next round.
