When the microphones of sky sports germany They asked the Canberra man about Nole’s favoritism, the always controversial player dropped a bombshell: “If it’s not me, no one can stop”. Let’s remember that They have already met in the final of the 2022 edition, with the European triumphing in four sets (4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6).
The record between the two is led by Kyrgios, with two victories to one. But the reality today is that the colorful game man never had a good time.
