Nick Kyrgios praises legends Roger Federer and LeBron James

In the latest episode, Kyrgios got to talk about how fans should be grateful to have legends like Federer and LeBron James still play their respective sport.

“That’s the thing, like, people take it for granted all these athletes LeBron, Federer. We just take it for granted as humans. We are just the biggest pieces of shit like that in my opinion.

Having made his comeback at the Qatar Open, Federer only managed to play few tournaments and produced satisfying runs at all the events. The Swiss star also made a surprise entry at the Laver Cup in Boston to cheer for team Europe.

Coming to Kyrgios, he made his last appearance of the year at the Laver Cup. The Australian played only a few tournaments throughout the year. His appearances at the Australian Open and Wimbledon entertained fans even though they were short.

Currently ranked no.93 in the men’s singles ranking, Kyrgios will look to bag few points in the Australian tennis summer to climb up the ladder and keep improving for the rest of the ATP season.
