 | Kirios about Nadal: I could not stand it. I hated so much when I saw him nearby13-04-2025 |
The finalist of Wimbledon-2022 Nick Kirios told how he related to Rafael Nadal. I could not stand it. He hated so much when he saw him nearby. He was the guy who always motivated me. I was in a special way, tried to show my best tennis. When I played with Federer or Djokovic, I did not feel such anger.
In Australia at any academy, everyone spoke about him as God: he is such a hard worker, he is like that. I said: I can’t stand it. I wanted to show people that you can have fun, be an ordinary guy and beat such people.
Kirios and Nadal nine times met each other at the ATP level. The account of personal meetings is 6:3 in favor of the Spaniard.
