 | Kyrgios about choosing his IQ when selecting the ideal player: I don’t know if anyone else has reached the Wimbledon final without a coach25-01-2025 |
Nick Kyrgios has compiled the characteristics of an ideal tennis player. Submission – Kyrgios: Since I can name myself, I will do so. I think I have the best serve. I’m not very tall for a tennis player (Australian’s height is 1. 93 m – Sports’). I`m not very tall these days. Probably above average, but not very high. There are tall guys, for example, Medvedev’s height, Zverev’s height is 1. 98, but still I will choose my serve for its variability, first, second serve, rhythm.
Backhand – Novak Djokovic: He has by far the best backhand in history. No one has ever played like that with a backhand down the line and with a cross, he moves like that, he can go from defense to attack with one blow. Such a level that the choice is obvious, there is not even any doubt.
Cut - Roger Federer: This is 100% the best cut in history.
Speed – Alex de Minaur: Perhaps one of the fastest tennis players, and how he changes direction and closes the court.
Forehand – Rafael Nadal: He has the most dangerous forehand in history. If you don’t hit him under the backhand, then he will take everything from the forehand. My forehand, for example, sometimes misfires.
Tennis IQ - Kyrgios: This is a tough question, but I didn`t have a coach for six years and I don`t know if anyone else in the history of tennis has reached the Wimbledon final without a coach. So I`ll probably choose my IQ.
Physical Form - Nadal and Lleyton Hewitt: It`s hard to beat Rafa. He`s just a beast. Rafa or Lleyton Hewitt - in terms of physicality, they are probably two of the greatest athletes I have seen.
Djokovic, Nadal and Federer strangled three generations and aged tennis. Now he`s getting younger
