Jimmy Connors Criticizes Nick Kyrgios for Underperforming and Lacking Focus on Tennis

Eight-time Grand Slam winner Connors said of Kyrgios: “Maybe he’s happy with his success and what he’s done with his abilities.” He doesn’t want to criticize that, he just wants to draw attention to the fact that Kyrgios remained below his potential.

“If you want to be the best, like Novak Djokovic, nothing can stop you. He doesn’t want to play basketball. He’s really focused on tennis and winning. Nick also thinks about other things,” said the 71-year-old.

If you want to be the best, you can’t afford it. You have to “put all your energy into it,” emphasized the American in his podcast, which he runs together with his son Brett.

The Australian Kyrgios, former world number 13, has been out of action for a long time. He was only able to play in one game this year due to knee surgery and a wrist injury. His comeback is planned for the Australian Open.
