Shedding light on this, Nick came ahead and suggested the main differences that differentiated the old times from the new ones. However, the fans did not seem to match his ideology.

Fans slam Nick Kyrgios after he makes a ridiculous remark on Pete Sampras

In a recent interview, Nick Kyrgios talked about the major differences that he feels are there today as compared to what it was earlier. Reflecting on the same, he suggested that the game was slow-paced, but it has changed a lot. While suggesting that a big serve back then ranged somewhere around 200 kmph, an average serve that he himself did was 220 kmph.

Not only this, he also came ahead and suggested that Pete Sampras was the first one to fall prey to the young players after Lleyton Hewitt came ahead and destroyed his serve with fierce returns. “Bro Lleyton Hewitt destroyed Sampras one year at the U.S. Open. That was the first prototype of someone who could return serve,” said Kyrgios.

However, as soon as his comments went viral, fans slammed the Australian sensation. One fan came ahead and suggested that Hewitt defeated an out-of-prime Sampras while suggesting that it was always the other way around.

Soon after, another fan expressed his anger at the remarks made. He suggested that putting exceptional fast serves would not help him win 14 grand slams.

This fan suggested that Nick has completely lost track of the evolution process.

Another fan came in and suggested that the remarks made by the Australian were highly disrespectful.

Last but not least, this fan came in and suggested that Kyrgios was not completely wrong in his statements.

While talking about the old vs new generation, Nick Kyrgios also went ahead to suggest that Novak Djokovic would come up and eat alive after the Serbian dominates the games by his serves.
