Kyrgios is the most talented player on tour. ROD LAVER

At 79 years of age, Rod Laver is still a role model for many tennis players in the world. Unfortunately, Nick Kyrgios is used to hit the headlines for the exact opposite reason, but Rod has still high hopes for his compatriot.

Kyrgios is the most talented player on tour.

During an interview with The Independent in occasion of the impending start of the Laver Cup, Rod commented

“Nick has got more talent than anybody on tour, but sometimes his attitude just does damage to his life as a player. Look at this summer. One moment he’s beating Nadal in Cincinnati and then with one click the brain goes out, and he doesn’t care.

That’s a shame because Nick has an unbelievable game. However, I think that will change with maturity.”

Let’s hope that Rod is right and Nick will find his way in the years to come.

 

CAN HE FIND HIS WAY?
