I could see Kyrgios succeeding in doubles and playing a long time. He loves the team aspect and the energy - you can tell he's enjoying himself out there.
don’t think so he is not interested in actually winning he‘s an entertainer, consistenty winning titles is something he does not have the emotional stamina to do.
Nick will never change, he only wants to entertain the crowd, have some fun while earning some money. It’s why the crowds love to watch him. He doesn’t care about winning grand slams and tournaments. There’s enough tennis players on tour who take the sport very very seriously, so there’s room for someone like Nick. People need to get over it and realize that’s just who Nick is as a player and person.
He has a talent he can make bank off of but he doesn't have the work ethic or desire to maximize it. He just wants to live comfortably and make more than he would at a 9/5 and see the whole world while doing it. I mean look at Andy Murray. Becoming number 1 cost him his hip. Nick could burn from both ends too if he wanted to, but he doesn't care about being the best.
@@buffgarfield3231 ik and tbh he's probably really having the most fun rn I think everyone knows if he tried he could win one slam at least but he would probably have to stop entertaining and going as much
With Nick, its self sabotage. He pretends he doesn't care so that if he loses he can pretend it's because he doesn't have a coach and take it seriously. It's a means of self protection actually, because if he takes it seriously and loses, he can't handle it so this way he has an excuse if he loses.
@@Sammy-il1qf that could be part of it and it could also be that he doesn’t seriously care about being number 1. Think about it: At your job, or your school, are you the highest paid person/number 1 student in the entire school? Probably not right? You’d have to sacrifice so much time and effort to even come close to that, and for some, it’s just not worth it. Trying to win a grand slam would be more like being #1 student in the world, which is even more unrealistic. Idk why everyone expects every player to be the same type of player as the big 3; some are fine just playing pro tennis and getting paid
@@Checkfins You are right. I was only thinking about when they are on serve. Not when they are on the receiving end. I guess Isner is not that fast at the net. But I think Opelka should be pretty decent. No?

@@ganggang3873 because he is selling himself everytime he wins a rally. Nothing wrong with it but a tennis player should be focus on winning the game and then selling to the crowd after you win.

What a perfect pairing! The bad boy and the charming one. Kokk is my man and Kyrgi is just his true self, the entertainer. Wish to see them both more as a couple 😜
You gotta feel for mektic/pavic-this is their livelihood and it’s basically an exhibition game for the aussies…the fact that the undisputed #1 team in doubles just lost handily to a pair of singles players who’ve hardly ever played together doesn’t do much in the way of legitimizing doubles either.

Nick seems to really revel being a teammate in Doubles. Maybe if he continues doubles his charismatic self can help bring awareness to that side of the sport! Love it, he really just needs some more variation in his back hand and he'd be a crazy complete player.
I only got to see these highlights so a big thank you for posting this. The chemistry & confidence between Nick & Thanassi is a joy to watch. I have heard rumors this may be Nick’s last tournament due to him not enjoying tennis any more. Sure doesn’t look like that here. I hope he will stay in the game as there is a magic he brings like no other player. It would be a great loss to tennis but without a doubt, he will be electric & successful in whatever he chooses to pursue .
They could but these sort of matchups with actually capable singles players make it much more entertaining. Mostly because of winners that the top doubles teams don’t get much
This is where Nick shines and is in his element, as entertainer and member of a team, and as flashy shotmaker with speed and any shot in the book. He'll raise the profile of doubles and get his team victories in the process, so win-win, and win!

We've seen Kyrgios beat some of the best players, so he has all the tools... Except for the discipline and motivation. That's why his singles results are lacking. But on doubles, his motivation is on a whole different level. Maybe he should considering focusing on doubles?

Shows the difference in singles v doubles. They just beat the unstoppable number one in dubs, with barely any practice together. It’s insane
Doubles players don’t get paid nearly as much as singles players , why should doubles players be better?
Pair Isner and Opelka together and I'll bet my mortgage on them against any doubles specialists.
It's not insane, it's just that dubs players are so much worse in general.

K/K were junior Wimbledon doubles champions apparently, so they're not "a pair of singles players who've hardly ever played together" as you describe.
they make a very good money even tho if they have #1500 skills so I dont feel but they sure worked their way up there
76 63 isnt handily lol. thats quite tight. only 1 break difference.
Even so, @jordy, is tough for an average joe to "feel for" a couple of tennis players who are going to make more than $30,000 for a 1st round loss.
