World No.3 Roger Federer offers his advice to Nick Kyrgios ahead of the Australian Open 2020 after a strong performance at the ATP Cup 2020. The Swiss maestro suggests Nick Kyrgios possess a game to win a Grand Slam title only if he could get his mind right.

Federer expects the hot-headed Australian to retrench his tournaments in the 2020 season. However, he hopes the 24-year-old is at his hundred per cent in each of the events that he takes part in.

“It’s his mind”: Roger Federer

Federer also explicated that the Australian maverick has a perfect overall game – good enough to win a major title. However, it is his mind that is a roadblock for him.

“Nick doesn’t need to improve a whole lot in his game, he knows he can beat everybody,” Federer said. “He’s got the forehand, the backhand, the serve and volleys and all that stuff.”

“With Nick, we know it’s elsewhere — it’s his mind. How much can he do, does he want to do?” the Swiss concluded.
