Nick Kyrgios Uses Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal to Build a Perfect Tennis Player

Australian Tennis star Nick Kyrgios is currently skipping the French Open, which he has done for the past four years. Instead, he decided to spend his time with friends and family. Recently, the Australian star posted various videos on his social media about practicing on the tennis court. In the meantime, he had a fun question-and-answer session with some fans. One particular fan asked him about building a perfect tennis player. In reply, he probably built more than a perfect tennis player.

In reply, the Aussie tennis star said, “FH – Sock/Federer, BH – Djoker, Volleys – Federer, Serve – isner/opelka, Movement – djoker/Nadal, Mental – Nadal/Hewitt, Swag-me.”

In this answer, Kyrgios chose Roger Federer’s forehand and volleys. Then, he chose Rafael Nadal’s mental toughness and movement. At the same time, he will have Djokovic’s backhand and movement. 

Kyrgios vs The Big Three

Whenever Kyrgios plays against the Big Three of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal, his level goes automatically higher. His best winning record is against the Serbian, Djokovic. They faced two times and on both occasions, he beat the 20-time Grand Slam champion. What’s more interesting is that Novak could not even win a set against the Aussie star. 

In his match-up against Rafael Nadal, he had to deal with many challenges. They first met at the round of 16 in Wimbledon in 2014, when the Aussie star shocked the world, as he beat Nadal to knock him out of the tournament. Since then, they have faced each-other eight times with Kyrgios only won 2 times. 

Meanwhile, against Federer, he has the worst record. Out of their seven meetings, Kyrgios won only once, which was their first-ever meeting in 2015 at the Madrid Open. Apart from that, Federer won their last six match-ups and nobody could forget their 2017 clash at the Miami Open, as it was simply one of the best matches of that year; the final result was 7-6,6-7,7-6.
