Nick Kyrgios still remembers that Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic in which he caressed his first Grand Slam singles title. A final that, however, could be a turning point in the Australian tennis player’s career.
Kyrgios himself, who continues to compete in the doubles draw at the Atlanta tournament alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis after giving up the singles draw, He wanted to answer several questions from fans through Instagram and one of them was about the Wimbledon final.
Kyrgios was asked if that final could serve as a lesson to him, something he stated, while assuring that, if he had faced another rival instead of Djokovic, he would have won. “Honestly I feel that if my first final was shocking, next time I will try to control emotions more gently, but I realized how you can be on a tightrope. I feel that if I had faced a tennis player other than Djokovic in the final, with the way I served, I would have won that day.

Kyrgios also wanted to send a message to the critics with his attitude on the track with this forceful message. “People tend to confuse my confidence with arrogance because they have no idea what I’ve been through.” A confidence that could settle Kyrgios in the tennis elite after shining and showing his talent at Wimbledon.
