The 27-year-old Australian tennis player and currently number 25 in the ATP world ranking flirted with retirement after defeating the world number 1 at the US Open.
Nick Kyrgios said bump to Daniel Medvedev for US Open Round of 16 Y leaving the door open for an early retirement from tennis. The Australian beat the number 1 in the world ranking of ATP through 7-6 (11), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and after the meeting he shook the sports world with his remarks.
The current number 25 in the ranking He started talking about the problems he knew how to have outside the courts and how no one expected him to beat Medvedev the way he did.who is also the first seed of the last Grand Slam of the year. “I’ve been in some really tough situations mentally and in some really scary places.“.
“Obviously, if you look at him on paper, he’s probably not expected to win that. Maybe I’ll get a set or two if I’m lucky. Give people a show. this is a big win. But I walk off the court and I’m almost relieved that it’s over because there’s so much pressure every time I walk out on the court, so much anticipation, so much unpredictability of what I can do.. I sat in the dressing room afterwards and I was really proud of the performance because there was definitely a moment that I didn’t think I was capable of doing and doing it.“he admitted.
Kyrgios He added again to his great internal struggle and explained how difficult it was for him to reach a Grand Slam final, which he achieved in the Wimbledon edition of the year. “I struggled a lot mentally for the first six or seven years of my career.. I got great results, amazing results, I tried so hard and then I broke down. I honestly don’t know how to deal with any of this. I hurt myself too much. it’s not healthy. I look back, everything was a learning process until now because I have matured a lot. Now I know the process of what it takes to reach a Grand Slam final. Not to win, but to get there.”.
To finish, he mentioned trying to continue giving his all and ended with a phrase that triggered rumors of a premature future of the sport. “This is the last biggest tournament of the year. We have to try and soak it up and keep pushing each other, keep positive.. Next week we will go home. But there are three more matches possibly, then we will never play tennis again.“.
