Philippoussis: Kyrgios will be a grand slam contender

Nick Kyrgios has a new illustrious fan: Mark Philippoussis

The former world no.8 hasn’t won a slam, but he was quite close to reach the final in Wimbledon 2003 (defeated by Federer)  and at the US Open in 1998 (defeated by Rafter). So when talking about Grand Slams… Philippoussis knows the story…

Kyrgios will be a grand slam contender

According to Mark “[Kyrgios] has an incredible talent, he has all the game, all the weapons to become one of the best in the world and definitely a grand slam contender. Being a big guy like that it’s very important to train in a smart way and keep as healthy as possible.”

Nick Kyrgios had to withdraw from the Hopman Cup for an injury to his back. He is expected to play in Sydney to prepare his Australian Open.
