He's the most naturally gifted player since Federer. He just doesn't have the mental drive to achieve greatness. He just doesn't want it. I can't really blame him. He's a multimillionaire in his 20s. He gets to travel the world and do what he wants. I wouldn't have minded spending my 20s like him
Yeah, the sacrifices you have to make to get right to the top are insane and he's admitted he isn't willing to make them (don't think I would either), since, as Nadal says, he doesn't love tennis
This is the problem that all of the top 100 players have. They are all millionaires thanks to Fed popularizing tennis. And none of them have to win majors to achieve it. You just have to show up to match and collect a big check. Winning is nice but not required. And that's why very few can challenge Joker or Nadal in majors. It's pitiful and very sad. It's a very weak era for tennis.
@@mols0n he was already good, but he could have defs been in the top 5 atleast. this guy partied, had no coach, played video games before matches. His natural talent for the sport is insane
Honestly he's possibly the most naturally talented player we've seen. If he had Djokovic's work ethic and mental strength (or Nadal's) he'd be unstoppable.
I think he is for sure, when he's playing well it truly feels like no one can beat him, he just can't sustain it, and when his level drops he goes completely mental xD
Man, when Kyrgios gets going, it's such beautiful tennis, it looks so easy. No other player can make it look so seemless, hitting almost as an afterthought. He is the most talented and the most awfull
i often think he's the most talented player i've ever seen. i also wonder how dominating he could have been if he had ever found some focus and determination.
I would have to say that along with Federer, Nick is the most naturally talented artist with a tennis racket I've seen; he can literally do magical things with his racket and play that are truly remarkable.
The key to playing games or sport is thinking outside the box. Too many players just go with the conventional so it only takes a guy like this to do some different things and ofcourse as you see even Djokovic and Nadal flounder cos they're too used to conventional tennis. And it's not hard to think outside the box but people just don't do it cos they get trained the orthodox way and so can't handle anything else.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 hmm I will do a little nitpicking here. Kyrgios was able to beat all of the Big 3 in their first meetings. This thrusted him into the front of headlines. I would argue he has the most potential. It's just a shame his mental could not bear the pressure. But slowly, Kyrgios is learning how to weather the storm.
Oil and water ......talent and arrogance ......they don't mix well. Most people simply don't like to watch this kind of character .....but then ....there are a lot of people who DO like this kind of character. Keep in mind, these are single clips of different matches, over a long period of time. During a match, there can be what appears to be one very amazing shot .....but in fact it is simply being in the right place at the right time, or "guessing"/"anticipating" correctly ....and willing to commit and be prepared ....which these pros do EVERY match. It is just the reaction after a single great shot that is in question. Celebrating after one shot is quite ridiculous when it is the single match winner that is important. This is one reason why Federer is/was so good. There was very little to celebrate until the match was won. That's CLASS. Kyrgios, quite the opposite....CLASSLESS. .
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 More than Alcaraz! Kyrgios can do (and has done) everything Carlos does with the racket. There are plenty of things Carlos can't do that Kyrgios can. There is no way you'll ever see Carlos do a SABR off a 130mph serve and end up with a return winner for example(more than once). Dimitrov is also more skillful with the racket than Carlos btw. It's just that Carlos at 19 has already worked 5 times harder than Kyrgios at 28. Put in way more hours already honing his craft and building his body. Doing everything the right way to get better. Kyrgios doesn't care to be great! He just wants to earn enough off his talent in tennis to live a comfortable life. If he did care to pursue greatness, he would have won at least 6 slams by now. Especially with that cheat serve of his!
I actually disagree with most people here. He can pull off crazy shots and has some formidable weapons. But consistency and mental strength are core tenants of a tennis player. He doesn't have that. Therefore to me, he doesn't have "potential". I think he has the ability (as he showed in WInbledon) to get on a hot streak and try and blast his way through to a slam. But that's his only hope. I think he knows that too.
My all time fav player alongside Wawrinka and Fed, but holy Wawrinka has really felt that "doesnt give a f" forehand from Kyrgios, absolutely mental and not a single player can replicate that shot
Nick has crazy raw power on both forehand and serve .. I think it's genetic muscle fiber combined w. talent and being able to see things in 'slow motion'.
The raw power, athleticism and skill Kyrgios has is out of this world. I wish he had a coach that could of honed that because he would literally be one of the best tennis players of all time with the skill set he has. Just doesn’t have the will 😢
As much as I love him I think he would be really difficult or near on impossible to coach ! He's his own man and firmly believes he knows what's best for him . If he does get a coach John McEnroe would be good for him , I think he would understand Nick's complexities having a very volatile personality himself back in the day .
He is unique. As they say. But the joy has been kicked out of him by media and social media and I really can't see him coming back to do this all over again just to have some of the media jeer and mock. I hate what they do to magic players
You seem to be oblivious to his classless antics. You like watching "classless antics"? Well, you're certainly not alone. Oil and water ......talent and arrogance ......they don't mix well.

In a perfectly balanced world: Kyrgios: "It just slipped out of my hand" Umpire: ''Mr. Kyrgios code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct....oops, sorry Nick..it just slipped out of my mouth''
Players like Kyrgios - he is not alone in this - have reached the ceiling of their potential much quicker than those willing to invest in themselves and explore possibilities to improve. Dedication and discipline to follow through on the willingness to improve, addresses a different talent than just the ability to hit some amazing shots. Some have that extra talent and it's them who leave the biggest mark. Kyrgios unfortunately never showed the ability to change things in technique, approach.. mental preparation etc. Instead he cultivated the big child in him. Too many times he has shown to have a chip on his shoulder by arguing with just about anyone on and off the court; players, referees, people in the crowd and media; it only proved to underline how counterproductive his whole approach to tennis is/has been. Would love for him to turn things around and actually commit 100% over a lengthy period of time.
My humble opinion, Nick is the most interesting player to watch. Nick's tennis is one of a kind in terms of game dynamics, unmatched by anyone else, only Federer is a bit close-by. It makes other players' tennis games seem almost boring.
The most important word in the title is "When". Too bad about the rest of the time. Kyrios has been on the tour for 10 years - he's a veteran - yet has only won 7 tournaments, none of them major. Statistically, in 70% of years, tennis is too easy for him for about a week per year. The other 51 weeks in the year, not so much.
The angles on his drop shots are jaw dropping, on a good day when he's focused he runs over his opponents like a freight train and second serves like he's just launched an anti aircraft missile . But ‼️you're right he may never win a GS but it's not because of who he's playing , he's already beaten the what was top 3 👍🏻 it's himself, if he can conquer his own issues this bloke can beat anyone, any day of the week .

Love watching Nick play and tennis misses him. Hopefully he will be back one day. Win or lose he is probably the most entertaining player to watch. Obviously the most talented ever in the game. When he is on unbeatable.
The only one who can toy with anyone on the circuit... mainly because he don't give a damn. He's probably the only one that can replicate the SABR and invent moves a la Federer. He's dearly missed.

Fully agree, it's easy to always play nonchalant and go for the highlights.
Consistency is difficult and not everyone is able to do that.
That only takes a sports psychologist to sort him out.
My all time fav player alongside Wawrinka and Fed, but holy Wawrinka has really felt that "doesnt give a f" forehand from Kyrgios, absolutely mental and not a single player can replicate that shot
Once hes done with singles, he has a brilliant career in doubles waiting. Incredible reaction time.
🤔 .. he may 'double' down. Losing 2023 with his wrist injury. Wondering if he'll be able to come back?
LOL at that ending, really fleshes out his character!
Nick has what might be the best forehand I've ever seen; he's like Dan Marino - just flicks his wrist and the ball goes off his racket like a rocket.
Nick has crazy raw power on both forehand and serve .. I think it's genetic muscle fiber combined w. talent and being able to see things in 'slow motion'.
Love Nick! Even if he does not have the mental toughness to be actually one of the "greats" he is one of the more entertaining players on the tour
Rob Kyrios can be entertaining but he can also be very tiresome .
The fact that Kyrgios is leading nearly every match in the video says it all
But that's only against those same players. Wawrinka, Coric, Rublev, Mannarino.
Wow! Great compilation top work Raz!
That jump forehand is legit. Surprised more players aren't doing it.
The raw power, athleticism and skill Kyrgios has is out of this world. I wish he had a coach that could of honed that because he would literally be one of the best tennis players of all time with the skill set he has. Just doesn’t have the will 😢

The potential 'slipped out of his hand(s)' ;) ?
Can you see that potential already???, the water slips and his own potential that water just gets energy blasted to the wall
