Nick Kyrgios lashed back against Rafael Nadal: “I didn’t stand it, I felt a lot of anger”

Nick Kyrgios It is one of the most outgoing personalities that exist in the professional circuit. The Australian, former world number 13, winner of seven titles at ATP level and Wimbledon 2022 finalist, was again in the center of controversy in the last hours.

Kyrgios provided an exclusive interview with the medium Tennis365in which he was very hard with Rafael Nadalnothing more and nothing less. It was already known that Nick did not feel a great love for the 22 -time Grand Slam winner (14 in Roland Garros). However, he again was responsible for making it clear.

“I didn’t stand it. When I saw him walking along the court and outside it he generated great hatred, he despised him a lot. I was very motivated to play against him, I felt a great anger inside me and tried to always make my best tennis to demonstrate to everyone who idolized him for his work ethics, that he can succeed having fun and being calm, “he began declaring.

Then, he compared these sensations he had when he played with the rest of Big 3: “I never had feelings similar to facing Roger (Federer) or Novak (Djokovic), for example“

“What Rafa had were tennis diseases with all that he did during the matches. Some of his gestures disgusted me. I hated seeing players who took a lot between serve and serve, especially, between the first and second service. He did and that made me despise him, “Kyrgios closed.

The 30 -year -old tennis player and Nadal saw the faces in a total of nine occasions. The balance? Six victories for Spanish and three for Nick. Kyrgios continues to dream of returning to the circuit and leaving behind his injuries, both on the wrist and in the knee. The US Open 2025 is a post -phrase (it is noted).
