Nick Kyrgios - what has not already been written and said about the man from Canberra. In any case, it is certain that the 26-year-old likes to stir things up - be it with provocative statements or with unorthodox blow variations that have already made one or the other player colleague white-hot. The Australian's last victim was Kevin Anderson.
In the first round of the ATP hard court event in Atlanta, Georgia, the South African suffered, as reported , a 6: 7 (4), - 3: 6 defeat against the showman from "Down under". It is hardly worth mentioning that Kyrgios did not want to do without the classic serve from below in his victory. A special variance escaped the six-time ATP tournament winner from his point of view with the score of 3: 4 and 40: 0 - a tweener service.
Just as hotly debated as the creative service trick is a request from Kyrgios regarding three American basketball legends. In his view, both LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are better players than Michael Jordan. “There is no debate,” the polarizing tennis athlete let his fans know. The replicating comments on Twitter are, to put it mildly, in the majority not exactly approving.
