The legendary Rod Laver, in whose honor the Laver Cup is held, praised Nick Kyrgios.
Many tennis players and former tennis legends believe that Kyrgios has great potential in the “white sport”.
-“Kyrgioshas all the possible talents, all the shots he could wish for.”- began Rod and continued:
-” Probably one of the biggest servers. He is precise, he can play under pressure. I am delighted that he reached the Wimbledon final. Then I wanted to turn to him and say, ‘hey, play your best. You might surprise yourself. A month or two later, I told him: You can win matches like that, why don’t you do it? I think it touched him,” Laver said.
The tennis legend believes that Kyrgios still needs to understand some things and that he will be one of the best.
-” He realized that he is good enough and that he can even reach the biggest titles. That final was the best thing that could have happened to him. Unfortunately, he said that he wants to go back to Australia and that he will not play in the Laver Cup. And he knows he can play and compete. He must not go out on the field thinking in the style, ‘if I win three games, that’s enough’. I think he’s now saying to himself, ‘next year, Wimbledon? You will see another player.” – concluded Rod.
