Nick Kyrgios after all “is not that bad”! The upcoming Australian did do much for his image after showing some questionable behavior on-court, but apparently lots of tennis players like him.

Richard Gasquet is about to lay with Nick in the 3^rd round of the French Open, and he spent some nice words about him.

Gasquet. We are lucky to have Kyrgios around…

During a recent interview, Richard commented “He has a very strong personality. That’s great. It’s good to have players like him. “Outside of the court, he’s very respectful. He’s a guy I like very much. Every time I’ve played him things went very well. I think we are all quite lucky to have a guy like him on the tour.”

… he has improved a lot

Then Richard added “He’s made some progress this year. He’s stronger than last year. He’s won some big matches. He’s done great things. He’s a great player. He’s the best newcomer coming now, so it will be an incredible match for me.”
