Nick Kyrgios is one of the most talented (and erratic) tennis players on tour. On a given day, he can beat or lose against everyone on tour.
The Australian has a 1-3 head to head record against Federer, 3-3 against Nadal and 2-0 against Djokovic and he is known for fearing no one. During a recent interview, he exposed the weaknesses of the big 3.
Federer’s weakness
Nick has huge respect and a fantastic relationship with Roger. Even if he has a losing head to head record, he is always a big danger for the Swiss when they play each other. According to Kyrgios, this is Federer main weakness
“Obviously, Federer is unbelievably talented and the greatest of all time, but he gets tired in tight situations.”
Djokovic’s weakness
Nick still enjoys a winning record against the world no.1. In 2 matches, the Australian has never dropped a single set against Djokovic after he won 7-6 (9) 7-5 in Acapulco and 64 7-6 (3) in Indian Wells in 2017 on both occasions. Nick commented
“Djokovic struggles with short balls; he doesn’t like to come forward. Second serve can get a bit shaky.”
Nadal’s weakness
Kyrgios has an even record against Nadal, and the Spaniard doesn’t really playing with the Australian. Nick has recently defeated Nadal in Acapulco after saving 3 match points following a very heated clash.
This is Nadal’s main weakness according to Kyrgios
“Rafa loves to be defensive, so you can really push through his forehand and expose how far back he stands.”
They are not Gods of the sport
Finally, the Australian commented
“You just have to play the right way and for the stars to align. Of course, they are a level above all of us, but they are definitely beatable, I don’t think like they are Gods to the sport.”
Easy, isn’t it?
Kyrgios on the weaknesses of the big 3: “Obviously Federer is unbelievably talented and the greatest of all time, but he gets tired in tight situations.”
