Nick Kyrgios has not disappointed on his first day as a commentator at the Australian Open. The Aussie tennis player has been on the Eurosport broadcast of the match between Novak Djokovic and Dino Prizmic and has had no problem sharing his thoughts and his opinion on each member of the Big 3
The bet of Eurosport and ESPN to have Nick Kyrgios for him Open the Australia 2024 It seems to be going well in these first stages of the tournament, as it has left very interesting reflections that will cause something to talk about in the coming days.
To start, the one from Canberra has talked about what it is like to face each member of the Big 3 while on his way to the commentary booth. “Rafa has that tough style of play and that physique, he’s also left-handed and even though you know his way of playing you can’t do anything to stop him. As for Federer, he had the ability to make you feel bad on the court, he was capable of making the court small and constantly taking away time to hit. You never felt calm,” he said on Eurosport.
That is why Kyrgios considers that with Djokovic he is the one with whom there is the best chance of feeling comfortable on the court, even if it is only for a while: “At least with Nole you know that you are going to have many exchanges, which are long and exhausting, but you know that you will to warm up, you’re going to feel in the game. Then there’s the problem of trying to figure out how to beat him, it’s like a ping-pong machine.”

Kyrgios also remembered the Grand Slam final that he lost to Djokovic and once again gave value to his Wimbledon 2022, where we remember that he was up a set in the final. “I lost a Grand Slam final against the guy who has done the best in history. For quite some time I joked that if it had been anyone else, that day Nick Kyrgios would have been Wimbledon champion,” he commented.
THE CHRISTMAS RETREAT
Returning to Nadal, who has regretted his absence in the tournament, he believes that it is very hard for any athlete to try to return from an injury and not be able to compete, something that also happens to him: “That is the fear that everyone has. athletes: you come back and you try hard, and a great champion like Rafa works for a year, returns a little early and relapses from the injury that has kept him out of competition.”
For this reason, he has sent him a message of encouragement wishing him to return as soon as possible, although, in his opinion, there is not much Nadal left. “Honestly, I hope he stays and plays because we all know how much he means to the sport and how much he entertains when he plays, but realistically I would say this is definitely his last year on the tour and I think his eyes will be on Roland Garros”.

Finally, the Australian has spoken about his options to return to compete this year, since we remember that in 2022 he only played one game. “I hope to return this year, although that will not be in any case before the grass tour,” said a Kyrgios who in the first broadcast of him was impressed with Prizmic: “This boy will be good for a long time.”
