LONDON - Nick Kyrgios is a genius on a tennis court and is a serious threat to Rafael Nadal’s Wimbledon hopes when they ace off in a second round blockbuster on Thursday, according to former world number one Mats Wilander.
Kyrgios, 24, has been infuriatingly inconsistent since then with his regular on-court misdemeanors overshadowing his ability to play the kind of audacious tennis that often has fans and rivals rubbing their eyes in astonishment. “This is the most dangerous situation you can have as a tennis player, if you are a Rafa Nadal,” Wilander, an analyst for Eurosport, told Reuters on Wednesday.“Nadal knows the talent that’s there and Kyrgios knows that too, especially on a fast grasscourt.The series between them is tied at 3-3 with Kyrgios winning a stormy encounter in Acapulco this year — the fallout of which is still rumbling on.
While Wilander says Kyrgios’ outlandish shots will not upset Nadal’s rhythm, what could disturb the 33-year-old is the Australian’s “couldn’t care less” body language.
