I was going to write pretty much the exact same thing. If he PRETENDED to care Like This all the time, he could be number one. I just more or less, ALWAYS, get the feeling that he just doesn't (care)
moronic comment. a focused kyrgios couldn't even beat khachanov at the us open. every pro player is talented. mentality is like 70% of tennis when it comes down to the very top level. you clearly are a casual
He’s the reason I picked up a racket, the dropshots, the underarm serves, his slice shots and effortless power. We will never see a player like him again, he’s only 28, if he locked in I really believe he can still win a slam!!
Yeah but… that’s kinda mean. Imagine if you’re just vibing and someone says “if you really locked in, you’d get promoted.” Some people want to do that. Some people don’t. I don’t see why Nick should want or have to try any harder. He’s balling, enjoying life. I say let him be.
@@AnnoyingMobileGames I didn’t mean to be mean! I’m sure he’s living a far better life than myself and you, and many others but as I stated he is only 28 and if he locks in once he’s recovered from his injury I believe he has the quality to win a slam
@@Migzy-fg5zp oh I didn’t mean to attack you or anything. I understand where you coming from. It’d be nice if he won a slam just to shut people up lol.
@@IGNSanity and it's kinda fun. When everyone will still remember them but forget him. He's going to be 75 and tell people "yeah I beat Djokovic, Federer and Nadal" first try". People won t believe him.
I mean, he has a huge serve, forehand, and he’s pretty athletic. It makes sense that he beats good players the first time in because it takes a while to just get used to his game. I honestly think he lived up to a lot of his potential. He’s kinda like a Kevin Anderson or a Del Potro… not nearly as talented as the big 3.
without a doubt the most naturally gifted player the world has ever seen .. Most definitely the most exciting and entertaining. You have to remember that federer ,nadal and novak have different mindsets, their commitment to being the best is i believe the main focus in their lives . Nick i believe has more natural talent than the three of them but strategy and good coaching leads to greater success, and nick is his own man and i for one as a tennis fan for over 50 years get more enjoyment from watching this young mans skills and tennis is all the greater with him involved . i love his zest for life and attitude a great guy
He is not a great guy at all. It has been proven that he has sociopathic tendencies. His numerous outbursts, especially the nasty ones, indicate that appropriately. Does he have talent? Without a doubt. Does he have the mental fortitude and desire to be the best through discipline, absolutely not! Like a performance-oriented and expensive race car, they tend to crash when a loose cannon of a driver is at the helm.
The match against Rublev was even more destructive than these highlights suggest. Find it and watch it. Nick DISMANTLED Andrey, and it was his backhand that did so much damage. I really think this match was peak Kyrgios.
He goes on about not caring and not trying, and everyone says "imagine if he tried, greatest talent ever". Imo it's just a crutch. Prime Big 3 toss his salad
Mentality comes with confidence and preparedness. He is almost never prepared and his confidence comes with his serve which is on about 70% of the time. You don’t just magically get a strong mentality.
@@Jimboslice1776 i agree and disagree. i agree that mentality comes with confidence and preparedness however I believe that it is also an innate ability. No matter how confident or prepared you are, if 90% of the crowd is against you will falter if not for an already strong mentality. If you were to boo a player like NK they would implode immediately while Joker and Meddy would use that to fuel them and prevail over their opponent. You can't learn this.
@@user-nd6kj8yp8u Yea, but confidence only makes a difference if you are close in skill level and conditioning. It doesn’t matter if the 50th ranked player in the world has 10x the mental strength of Djokovic… he’s gonna get smacked. Same with Kyrgios. He just gave up matches where he was already losing, so it creates this illusion of “Oh wow, when he’s trying he’s winning, but he doesn’t try, he loses.”
Nick is clearly just doing side quest with his tennis career. Just doing it for fun. If he played for legacy he would've been number 1 undisputed. Most entertaining player to watch
He sort of focused, was motivated and healthy. Plus he adjusted the control left hand of his backhand and he made the finals of Wimbledon.. wish him the best when he gets back! He just always care most days when he plays.
Sometimes I think Kyrgios plays the trick shots just to bring his oppositions mental down to his level, then beats them on skill. Imagine getting broken on the first serving game of the set, and then he just starts hitting it through the legs. I think I'd start smashing my head into the court.
In terms of talent I put Nick Kyrgios behind Roger Federer. I’ve seen both live in practices and match play and it’s literally almost the same of shot creation and shot connection.
Yall are delusional af. Everything about their games is completely different. I can’t even think of a single shot that looks, moves, or spins similarly. Nick’s game is like 80% serve and forehand and the remaining 20% is athleticism if he’s feeling it that day. All that being said, Kyrgios is one of my favorite players to watch.
Well, nobody's stopping him from being focused and giving his 100% every match.. Winning & losing is different thing but you have give your 100% all the time.. I would personally take any other top 100 player's career over him..
Unfortunate we most likely won’t see him anymore. Mental game was always poor and the injuries don’t help. I remember when he withdrew from AO2024, he had said how much he hates playing tennis because of the constant pain he is in and he truly doesn’t love tennis anymore. Sad, because this guys talent was otherworldly.
To the doubters, he's made enough money to retire at an early age. He made an incredible impact to the game and surely inspired millions of young players. Why not sit back and enjoy the spoils. He's got a great commentary style and a big future there if he chooses. More power to him.
I mean, the message he’s sending to kids is literally the worst message ever: “Go out and be a douchebag, give it your best shot every 5th tournament, call the officials names, break rackets often, retire early after accomplishing very little, brag often, tell respectable players that your friends have sex with their girlfriends, and party before tournaments.” Wouldn’t it be way better if he like… tried or fought through some adversity.
Makes me wonder what all that fuss has been about? He changed the game or what? He broke some of the records? There are many other guys in Australia only who did much more damage even with much less talent than him😂😂😂
He does it as a showman whilst being controversial, mysterious, laid back, and overall entirely different from the rest of the ATP. He plays by his own rules, and even doesn’t care about the rules sometimes. He is truly unique.
All i see here is "if this and if that" that's what Kyrgios legacy will be.. the "if-player" and won nothing. there are loads of players like this in other sports.. if you don't win anything and you don't even want to try fix all your issues you got off and on the court, your nothing in most peoples books. He got good hands and some funny shots, but that's it.
Oh, he has a bit the classical Alpha male, ironic but laid-back vibe, that both men and women respect, so I guess there's some of that apart of his tennis...
I've seen so much talent. If he had the mind of any other player he'd win every slam.
I was going to write pretty much the exact same thing.

He's always struggled with mental health. The fact that he's achieved what he has achieved is amazing.
Not great on clay though.

maybe 3 times if he was playing
Dustin Browne!
ridiculous that he plays at this level with no coach. definitely the most talented player ever on the court.
The greatest talented player after big three era
greatest talent including them, imo
i think he has more natural talent than all 3 of them, since he was able to (and is the only player ever to) beat each of them on the first try.

Crazy thing is rublev wasnt even playing bad.
Except, he's almost never focused... It's really not about peak perforamnce, but about overall efficacy
It's a little bit about peak performance. Kyrgios is always a huge threat going in to any match. That's not small on the ATP tour.
In terms of winning individual tournaments, it is def to some extent about peak performance
Pretty sure this video is about peak performance though 😅
LOVE THE MAN!!!
He goes on about not caring and not trying, and everyone says "imagine if he tried, greatest talent ever".
Imo it's just a crutch. Prime Big 3 toss his salad
my favourite player to watch. win or lose but always entertaining

What a genius! If Nick is more focused and consistent on his career path, winning the grandslam is completely possible.

Don't hurry, but please be back soon. Tennis needs you!
Yes Tennis Needs Nick.
Miss Him Terribly
If he suppresses his anger and is hungry for victory, his highest ranking of 11 will definitely become number one.
Future top 10
would of been if not for 2022 wimby points not counting.

Reminds me of David Nalbandian hard flat shots on the angles ....
2:45 Never seen an ace off an underhand serve 😅
Hard work beats talent.
I did not know that he had bagelled Rublev.
In terms of talent I put Nick Kyrgios behind Roger Federer. I’ve seen both live in practices and match play and it’s literally almost the same of shot creation and shot connection.
They’re surprisingly similar players, unbelievable volleying talent, both very good at placing their serves, timing based rising shot taking.
@@turntech4776 this is very true atleast in hard courts. Federer takes the ball even earlier in grass. In terms of pure talent very similar.
Yall are delusional af. Everything about their games is completely different. I can’t even think of a single shot that looks, moves, or spins similarly. Nick’s game is like 80% serve and forehand and the remaining 20% is athleticism if he’s feeling it that day. All that being said, Kyrgios is one of my favorite players to watch.
I remember watching the Kyrgios Rublev match. He just blasted him away that was it
Nick is like the brilliant kid in school who just didn't give a fuck and "wasted" his potential..
He need Federer as a coach to teach him poker face
That serve 🔥🔥🔥
Is that his comeback to tennis?
If only he had a coach, he'd have a grand slam by now.
Against De Minaur, first two games of first set, sun is in Nick's eyes and the cap stays backwards. Does he REALLY not care even THAT little?
Nah since wearing that hat that way he went to perform really well
Wow. Rublev couldn't get off the court fast enough. He just got spanked.
"How did that bagel taste mate?!"
Something piss him off about the Northern hemisphere before the event?
Well, nobody's stopping him from being focused and giving his 100% every match..
Winning & losing is different thing but you have give your 100% all the time..
I would personally take any other top 100 player's career over him..
Kyrgios is enjoying life too much to care about professional tennis. Wasted talent but not a wasted life for him.
Both Australians tennis players . Kyrgios and De Minaur

I don't think he's coming back. Once the knee goes under the knife they never come back.

But he is off (most of the time) he can be severely humilliated: us open vs Federer😂😂😂😂
He is lazy, his forehand is as huge as Nadal's. But he needs to go to gym first before to pretend to have a such game.
