“Now my goal is to win a Grand Slam tournament. I think that’s the only thing that will keep people quiet.”recently announced Nick Kyrgios, who will return to the main circuit in early 2025 after having only one match in two years.
A statement that is far too presumptuous according to journalist Frédéric Verdier, author of a little rant during the Winamax show “Sans Filet”.
“Tennis needs Nick Kyrgios when he is focused on the game. Kyrgios is good for tennis. He does good in tennis. What bothers me about his statement is that I think he gives the wrong reasons. He allows himself to say that he wants to shut people’s mouths when it’s been two years since he played, apart from one match and he left. Announcing that he wants to win a Grand Slam makes me laugh. That’s not how it works. If by magic he starts winning matches right away, he would return to the top 30 in three, he would be seeded in the Grand Slam and he would win them. If you like competition and effort, come back, but don’t talk about winning a Grand Slam. Be serious. In general, after stops of this kind, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic managed to come back performing well straight away, that is to say completely extraordinary players. Kyrgios is not in that club. We wish him a lot of good things but we have to be a little realistic and respect tennis. »
