Nick Kyrgios admits he wanted to hit Rafael Nadal ‘square in the chest’ | 2019 Wimbledon Presser

Australia’s Nick Kyrgios gave a typically combative press conference following his 6-3, 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 defeat to Spain’s Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in London, England. Kyrgios admitted he was aiming for Nadal’s chest and said ‘why should he apologise’ for it and that he ‘didn’t care.’ He also chimed on his compatriot Bernard Tomic getting fined $56,000 for not playing up to the “required professional standards” and said that decision was simply ‘outrageous.’

Rafael Nadal : 18 Grand Slams singles titles. 34 ATP Tour Masters 1000 titles. 20 ATP Tour 500 titles. 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles. Held the world No. 1 ranking for a total of 196 weeks. A record twelve French Open titles, three US Open titles, two Wimbledon titles, and one Australian Open title. Humble. Dedicated. A gentleman and a living legend who's racquet does the talking.

So Kyrgios wants to bring a little in your face thug aspect to the game. He's obviously envious of Nadal, and Nadal is professional enough to deflect the shot and not get down in the dirt with Kyrgios. Kyrgios complains about Nadal's bank account and the referee? This is all Kyrgios' problem and he should know how to deal with these issues by now. Rule #1 in any sport is not to tick off the referee or show disrespect toward them before the match even starts. Most referees are professional enough to not let this cloud their judgement, but even unconscious feelings can indirectly influence calls. Pros know this.

He has talent, but that is only one component needed to become a great player. Roger, Rafa, Novak, beside their talent are all emotionally stable players, focused, determined, hardworking etc. If Nick played in some other tennis era he could maybe win few big tournaments.

“I wanted to hit him in the chest” - so telling what kind of an athlete he is.

On balance this guy is not good for tennis.

[@luciuscaeciliuslucundus3647]

I know what you mean but he does bring some character to the game. Regardless of whether you like hi or not, he's definitely controversial, and that adds more to the game than just watching some conventional, standard men and women hit a ball.

[@mgsandz6489]

Well he did say that he had passion in basketball but sticked to tennis because thats what he’s good at

[@johnfordice5763]

@eoe123321 I don't think it's necessarily about permanently *changing* the nature of tennis etiquette/sportsman conduct - seeing these one-off figures that contrast the standard gentlemanly mold we're used to makes the scene a bit more engaging as a spectator.

[@rogerduvall502]

What’s the clear cut definition of what’s good for tennis ?? What is the standard that everybody should absolutely follow ??

[@raymondhill3]

@@rogerduvall502 In this world there are no clear cut definitions of anything. We have interpersonal relationships and in my opinion and others like me, this guy leaves something to be desired. In tennis conflict should be in the challenges offered on the tennis court and not how we conduct ourselves with arrogance toward others because we are good players and have celebrity.

[@MrMooremelody]

assault? lol! serious? There is nothing wrong with his shot. It's a common tactic taught by coaches from a young age. left, right, over or AT. also, he didn't even hit him, the ball hit his racquet.

[@mariusdrogeanu6161]

LOL, he reminds me of Tony Montana quote "you need people like me".

[@bobburger7724]

Asking if he should apologize is pretty fucking stupid. If he comes in to net and can't react fast enough or has charged in off a iffy shot, there's 4 ways to beat him , to the left, to the right, lob, or straight through him. I never understood why people would get angry if I went straight through them. Get back if you can't handle the pace at net.

[@johnbcollier]

A rocket straight at the body is a perfectly legitimate shot. Like he said, Rafa is one of the best players in the world. If he can't take a fast shot to the body, he shouldn't come to the net. And for all of those people who say Krygios is going nowhere, he is a professional tennis player traveling the world, making millions of dollars, and having fun. Does he have the potential to perform at a much higher at tennis? Of course. But should he? Maybe he doesn't want to give up his lifestyle to be the best, at least not for now. How is that so offensive? Why should he adopt the world's expectations for his life? Nick is authentic and incredibly entertaining to watch.

Is there any footage of the actual hit attempt at nadal ?

[@archieforsyth5211]

I feel like people don’t get kyrgios. What he’s saying is that he knows that he has talent, which he does, but he doesn’t want tennis to be the only thing in his life like it is for those winning slams. He went to the pub the night before because tennis is just a game to him and he doesn’t want to dedicate all of his time to that game. If he ever changes his mind and does want to train and focus more on tennis to try and win slams then that should be his choice and he should not be pressurised into it by the media and the public.

I think he's an honest guy and needs some time to mature. It's easy to judge and say it's wasted talent. It's clearly not wasted talent if he's already a pro. I do hope he matures a bit but clearly tennis is not the most thing to him which is fine.

donjosue1000 because he said that he hit Nadal at the chest but because he has money and is successful then it’s okay and doesn’t need to apologise.
