@@h.k.3981 I don't think it's about taking it seriously. Kyrgios seems more an artist than typical athlete. For him it's about finding balance and overcoming demons. It'd be like telling a great artist that they can produce another masterpiece if they take it more seriously -- a bit more complicated I think.
Finally Kyrgios is starting to play like he did in 2017. If he can be consistent and keep his behavior in check, I think he becomes a legitimate threat for Masters titles and deep runs at the Slams. On a good day, he can beat anybody.
And the other day he just does not want to compete. Nobody knows why but him...like that day in Wimbledon when he refused to return the ball. Otherwise he is a total psychopath like shown in the match against Wawrinka.
He’s beaten Nadal and Djokovic multiple times, and pushed Federer multiple times. He’s incredibly talented, but it’s the space between his ears that’s the problem. Very Philippoussis like
I respect the effort from Rublev on match point. He was obviously frustrated, but unlike some other players on the tour, he keeps trying hard even when he's having a bad day. That will make a difference for him in the future, and could help him win Slams.
I agree and he does not forget to thank God even after a humiliating defeat which says a lot about his character too I would say. Rublev is a champion all respect to him, he will be winning majors soon. On another note it's great to see Nick playing such good tennis.
Yeah but he was trying but he didn't try anything different. He needs to be able to play a style that isn't just ball bashing. Too one dimensional imo, although when he on song that one style beats 90% of players.
This guy 😍 taking returns half way to the net like he’s playing against an U12 kid when it’s Rublev. Love the fact he’s clearly loving tennis again. Keeping going big man 💪🎾

exactly man, like he's so good for tennis just appreciate the man lol, i seriously don't get the hate, i guess it comes from when he makes their fav player look like a clown lol
He should prove it like everyone else to consistently win if he is so great. The big 3 work hard and focus, so why can’t him. Imagine the frustration of his mom and GF because he can’t man up.
I have no doubt that Kyrgios is the most talented player on the tour. Pure raw talent - if he overcame himself in the tough moments he would be #1. I'd love to see him do it for just one Slam - just to show people he has the game to do it. Shows how much of a mental mind game the sport is
Congrats to Kyrgios! I've never seen him so focused on every shot. His backhand today was like Djokovic's with how he returned Rublev's serve and in the baseline rallies. I felt really bad for Rublev because he was not playing bad, it's just that Kyrgios seemed to be on another level and he just so happened to be on the other side of the net today. You could tell that Rublev was frustrated and I applaud him for his effort on match point when he could have easily let the lob go over him. Hope Kyrgios can win Miami! He's playing so well and I would hate to see him lose after the way he played today.
Disagree about Fognini and Dimitrov. Yeas they have insane touch and great technique and flashy shots, but Dimitrov lacks weapons and ways to win cheap points and Fognini lacks a potent serve. Plus both lack heavily on the mental side of the game. Agree about Kyrgios tho but especially Fognini can’t be successful consistently on all surfaces with that serve of his
The Enigma that is Nick Kyrios. It's interesting that he's finally worked on his backhand and has turned it Into more of a weapon than just a shot. When he finally tries the announcers troll and jest that it looks like he's rushing points because he's late to a dinner RSVP. He's always had the game to be one of the top players, he's never had the drive to continuously work to win though. I'm glad he's in a better mind set, I'd love to see him with a grand slam or two when it's all over
Because Kyrgios is not that fit I think he’s definitely best advised to hit the ball hard and try and win quite quickly, long rallies don’t suit his fitness levels
Don't know why people are bashing his backhand. It might have been inconsistent from time to time but that is more Kyrgios in general rather than his backhand. That short backswing makes it very hard to predict his placements and he still gets good power. On top of that he can hit close to half volleys like they are regular shots.
Kyrgios is the most talented player Ive ever seen when he feels like actually trying. I really enjoy his character even though he ultimately destroying himself, you cant deny he puts on a show either on or off court. Its a shame we will never see his full potential. Stay safe all 🙌🏻
@Tom Patriot Naah Kyrgios is easily the most talented player that i have ever seen if he had that mindset of a top 10 player or even as a top 30 then the guy would be dominating for ages
I think nick has some of the best hands and early reaction hitting. Look at how he takes the ball so early on the rise and keeps rublev on his feet; when nick is dictating his opponents are always on their heels unsure where and what nick is going to hit the ball. Pure ball striking not even having to work too much, just tactful and skillful. Anyone who says they can’t appreciate this brand of tennis must not like tennis. It’s that simple, great stuff
It's amazing to me that he keeps his calm with every point he wins. His manifestation is only inside even when he wins the match. Not screaming and roaring. This mean control. We you go Kyrgios.
Ive thought the same thing since the Aus open. Hes really matured since dating her and he must be happier with life in general now on and off the court!
This is when an extremely talented player becomes happy and have the passion for tennis. If he keeps this up, top 5 player in the world and perhaps a future grand slam winner. Good luck Nick! Play with your heart’s content!
Nicks backhand seems to have improved, he is really hitting them hard and confidently lately. Incredible performance. Now go and win a tournament already Nick!

I have been a big critic of Nick and I am pleased to see Nick playing to his potential and doing justice to his talent. He made a quality top 10 player look out of his depth. Unbelievable display from Nick.
He's so enjoyable to watch when he plays like this. Love that he isn't the model (and often boring) professionsal. Tough one for Rublev whom I also like to watch.
well if you look at their careers rublev is winning almost every 500 and kyrgios is beating top players 2 or 3 times a year so its better to work hard than being talented..
His knee still concerns me. Been bothering him for years now and even with how little he played all of last year, the issue came back immediately. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him pull out of his r3 match sadly. Shows how good he can be tho given he just thrashed a top 10 player with a dodgy knee and limited movement
And it’s crazy to think after the most recent laver cup, he was talking about how he can’t even see himself playing tennis anymore after 5 years. I’m not even that much of a Kyrgios fan, yet I can’t deny how much more consistent his playing has been again, how strong he has become as a doubles player, and how good he can be if he is in the right mindset.
He has always been a great and very technical tennis player, however sometimes he does not take things as seriously as he should. When Nick Kyrgios really gets serious and does things like the professional he is it shows the true great potential, Great Nick!!!
Big physical improvement from Kirgios, his footwork was on point returning to the middle of the court, anticipating next shots, and returning from way inside the court.
Waaaw... That was definitely a 'beast mode' performance from Nick. Look at his game & playing style. He's got so much talent. If he gives his 100% to tennis, he definitely can win on the big stages and a cement himself among the Top 10 players.
Incredible performance from Nick, he made Rublev look like an amateur. It’s great to see but there’s always going to be that question mark with his consistency and mental toughness. Let’s hope he can keep this level for the rest of the year, especially going into Wimbledon.
Congratulations to Kyrios. Regardless of how far he goes in this tournament all i want is for him to do his best ie keep mouth closed during each match, stay focused on the task at hand, show us how good we know he is and do not fear success; you really deserve it.
I just hope his win in Melbourne in the double would give him motivation to work hard, Kyrgios has the talent to be a top 10, even a top 5, he just needs more motivation to play. And that means playing on clay aswell. You can't be top 10 if you skip a third of the season, you need consistency
Kyrgios in the zone and actually trying is right up there for me, with the likes of Federer and Nalbandian. The shot selection, the build up, the variety... He has everything, pure joy to watch :)
I’ve always rooted for him. Too bad he always had trouble giving his all but something is making him get serious about his tennis this year. No reason he can’t win this thing
I saw Kyrgios win the DC CitiOpen in 2019. He beat Medvedev in a fantastic final. Kyrgios, when he is focused, has as much, and possibly more, game than any of the Big Three. That may sound like sacrilege, but when his focus is strictly on tennis, he is masterly. His speed is a wonder to behold. Alas, Nick loses focus. But he sure is fun when his mind is on the game.
Looking at his reaction, kyrgios actually didnt even care, imagine this guy training hard all the time and dedicated to the sport, he would be no1 without a doubt
I haven't seen Kyrgios this calm and collected in a long time. He's usually swearing and smashing racquets. If he can keep this mentality up, he could well be on his way to winning his first grand slam and more to come.
Nick's footwork and timing is so good when he just has fun and stays in his zone. It's easy for him to overthink though. As long as his mindset stays dominant there are few players who can make him question that.
Rublev is an awesome player and I love his game, but Kyrgios hardly broke a sweat to win this one. He just has such an explosive forehand, and he dictated the game exceptionally well.
@Lock Down Well that's your opinion, but he's had a 13 match win streak this year and won a title. And an awesome player to me doesn't have to be the one that wins all the time, he just plays good tennis.
Nick is such an entertainer, his facial expressions are super funny, love him 💚👑🏆and yes he can win this title . Well thats if he wants to 🚀🚀🚀lets go Nick. JUST DO IT, GET IT DONE 🥳🥳
Me: Nick, they don't pay you by the hour. Nick: Hold my beer. Wow. His backhand is now a weapon. Like the rest of his game. He's a genuine top 10 player, and only lost to one of the all time greats (Rafa), by the barest of margins recently. Look at what he did today. He BAGELED the number 7 in the world. BAGELED. This match was not even competitive (according to UTR, the loser should win half the games of the winner to be competitive; 12 games to 3 means it was not competitive). Nick, you bloody ripper! Go on, son! Have as much fun as you want to. We are all loving watching you unleash it.
When Kyrgios is playing at his best, he's just a pure joy to watch. Hate him or love him, you can't deny he's guaranteed tennis entertainment
You can't hate one of the most creative players of the field ;)

Waaaw... That was definitely a 'beast mode' performance from Nick. Look at his game & playing style. He's got so much talent. If he gives his 100% to tennis, he definitely can win on the big stages and a cement himself among the Top 10 players.
Incredible performance from Nick, he made Rublev look like an amateur. It’s great to see but there’s always going to be that question mark with his consistency and mental toughness. Let’s hope he can keep this level for the rest of the year, especially going into Wimbledon.
Mais Kyrgios... tu es trop fort !
c'est quoi le délire de mettre ce sale 6/0 à Rublev, là, toc!
Juste incroyable
1:20 underrated shot.
fake stop into forehand slice down the line.
Congratulations to Kyrios. Regardless of how far he goes in this tournament all i want is for him to do his best ie keep mouth closed during each match, stay focused on the task at hand, show us how good we know he is and do not fear success; you really deserve it.
3:10 "that was easy" 😂😆
this might just be the best I’ve seen kygs play
Honestly even being biggest Rafa fan I love to watch this guy. I hope he can win this tournament and even have more success
I know many people don’t like Kyrgios. I don’t care. Hes looking more focused than ever at the moment. And I wish him all the success in the world.
Hopefully this is the start of Kyrgios realizing his potential.
He needs just a couple of tricks per match to keep himself interested though.
Kyrgios is super talented. I really wish he continues to play like this with such precision and discipline...we like this version of him ....
Rublev always thanking the Lord, even in defeat.
Kyrgios played very well. I can see that he’s keeping his emotions in check and focusing on the W
I just hope his win in Melbourne in the double would give him motivation to work hard, Kyrgios has the talent to be a top 10, even a top 5, he just needs more motivation to play. And that means playing on clay aswell. You can't be top 10 if you skip a third of the season, you need consistency
Kyrgios in the zone and actually trying is right up there for me, with the likes of Federer and Nalbandian. The shot selection, the build up, the variety... He has everything, pure joy to watch :)
100% Kyrgios and Nalbandian are the two best players who never won a slam. And the two most exciting players up watch!
Never thought Nick would actually try to win matches.
This comment 😴
Kyrgios showing off talent + good day mode ! 💪🏾🤜🏼🤛🏼
I’ve always rooted for him. Too bad he always had trouble giving his all but something is making him get serious about his tennis this year. No reason he can’t win this thing
Go Nick 🔥🔥 It’s great to see how well you’ve been playing this year, hope you can keep it up!
I saw Kyrgios win the DC CitiOpen in 2019. He beat Medvedev in a fantastic final. Kyrgios, when he is focused, has as much, and possibly more, game than any of the Big Three. That may sound like sacrilege, but when his focus is strictly on tennis, he is masterly. His speed is a wonder to behold. Alas, Nick loses focus. But he sure is fun when his mind is on the game.
he is no where near the top three as time and results have proven
@@james2578 he's beaten them all many times. 🤔
This is the Nick i have wanted to see for a long while now and he's delivering
_"Hard work will ALMOST always overcome talent, when talent doesn't want to work hard"_ 😂
Bravissimooooo Kyrgios!!!! Good luck for you in Miami!!! With best regards Juraj from Slovakia
Looking at his reaction, kyrgios actually didnt even care, imagine this guy training hard all the time and dedicated to the sport, he would be no1 without a doubt
PLEASE STAY FOCUS NICK! When you keep your head in the game you are a joy to watch!
Unreal how good he is. Imagine if he can keep his mind straight for one slam
The difference in Kyrgios' backhand now from even last year is mind boggling. He's hitting it with so much more conviction.
Love must be to blame for the change in Kyrios. He exhibited an incredible level.
Thank you for getting this up so quickly!
I think he just need good people around him. I think doubles helped him to be more fearless. Since if he loses he got doubles to look forward to.
This is a tennis player actually born with the talent
Dude is the most talented guy to ever pick up a tennis racket. If he had half the work ethic of Nadal or Fed he'd have multiple Grand Slams by now
Молодец Кирьос, с уважением отнесся к Рублёвку. Феноменальная игра.
Как шавку загонял 🔪
I haven't seen Kyrgios this calm and collected in a long time. He's usually swearing and smashing racquets. If he can keep this mentality up, he could well be on his way to winning his first grand slam and more to come.
Nick's footwork and timing is so good when he just has fun and stays in his zone. It's easy for him to overthink though. As long as his mindset stays dominant there are few players who can make him question that.
Rublev is an awesome player and I love his game, but Kyrgios hardly broke a sweat to win this one. He just has such an explosive forehand, and he dictated the game exceptionally well.
@Lock Down Well that's your opinion, but he's had a 13 match win streak this year and won a title. And an awesome player to me doesn't have to be the one that wins all the time, he just plays good tennis.
Nick is such an entertainer, his facial expressions are super funny, love him 💚👑🏆and yes he can win this title . Well thats if he wants to 🚀🚀🚀lets go Nick. JUST DO IT, GET IT DONE 🥳🥳
The day this guy finds out how good a player he can be... We'll have a new world number 1
Amazing, my mouth was wide open in shock throughout the video. Hope he keeps this going
Me: Nick, they don't pay you by the hour.
Nick: Hold my beer.
Wow. His backhand is now a weapon. Like the rest of his game. He's a genuine top 10 player, and only lost to one of the all time greats (Rafa), by the barest of margins recently. Look at what he did today. He BAGELED the number 7 in the world. BAGELED. This match was not even competitive (according to UTR, the loser should win half the games of the winner to be competitive; 12 games to 3 means it was not competitive).
Nick, you bloody ripper! Go on, son! Have as much fun as you want to. We are all loving watching you unleash it.
One of the few players that is always entertaining . Love him
