This year, Australia’s tennis-crazed fans certainly missed Nick Kyrgios at his home major. But apart from that, the whole tennis fraternity missed his passionate and emotional gameplay at the Australian Open. However, that is not the only part of his tennis personality. The Aussie star has his goofy side, which he does not hesitate to showcase on the court. Over the years, he played some remarkable shots, from tweeners to behind-the-back shots in important matches, which has left his audience dumbfounded yet entertained. Following on the same lines, the former coach of Serena Williams, Patrick Mouratoglou, shared a hilarious video while mentioning the 2022 Wimbledon finalist.

Hilariously, we cannot deny the similarities between the two players. Because we have seen the Australian tennis star making unexpected shots in very important situations as well.

If he has to kill someone, Kyrgios picks Rafael Nadal

Not literally, just hypothetically, Rafael Nadal is not Kyrgios’ favorite among the ‘Big 3’. In an interview with actor and comedian Jon-Bernard Kairouz, the Aussie star shared some insights on his take on the ‘Big 3’.

He played the ‘F**k, Marry, Kill’ game, in which he chose among the three legends of the sport. Unsurprisingly, he chose his favorite tennis player, Novak Djokovic, to marry. And for the ‘Who’d you f**k’ question, he chose the Swiss Maestro, Roger Federer while choosing Nadal for the ‘who’d you kill’ question.
