Nick Kyrgios has opened up on how he is readying himself for the expectations on him to grow if he completes the final stage of the drastic transformation from unpredictable threat to Wimbledon champion.- had left him anxious, restless but also “a reckless ball of energy” - Kyrgios, only half-jokingly, warned the tennis world: “Please don’t put the pressure on me to do another one”.
“I feel like if I ever am able to lift a grand slam trophy, please don’t put the pressure on me to do another one.Six-time Wimbleon winner Djokovic is acutely aware of the danger that Kyrgios - remarkably an opponent he has only played twice, losing both matches in 2017 - represents, given his confidence on-court and when the Australian adopts his “just going for it” mentality.
“It seems like, mentally, he’s at a better state than what he was, where he was, some years ago. As I said, of course as time passes by, you’re maturing, you’re understanding yourself, what you need to do in order to get yourself to the best possible, optimal state of mind, body, and soul in order to perform your best.“So in a way it’s also not surprise for me that he’s there.”
“Between us players, we always know how dangerous he is, on grass particularly, because of his game, because of his attitude on the court being so confident, just going for it, [and] being a very complete player.”He tinkered with his approach, having an extended hit on the All England club’s practice courts on Saturday, instead of what was shaping as a likely marathon battle against grand slam great Nadal.
