Nick Kyrgios is definitely one of the most quirkiest characters on tour. The Australian has been battling for long with his nerves when playing tournaments and he is well aware that if he manages to find his “correct” mental space, he can unleash his deadly tennis.
What happened in Beijing?
Kyrgios was playing Mischa Zverev that once again was getting under his skin with his “old school” tennis. As per Nick’s admission, he had to find a way to be more relaxed and therefore, besides striking a couple of tweeners and “weird” shots, the Australian decided to sing during a changeover.
The “mental strategy” worked perfectly as Nick bounced back from losing the first set to win the match 3-6 6-3 6-3.
