Watch my training with Nick Kyrgios at Rolex Shanghai Masters 2018. This video includes our warm up from the baseline, some net play, serves and returns. Even though it was a short training, I really enjoyed it. I hope you can feel the atmosphere and enjoy it a bit as well! For me it was very special to play with this very talented and eccentric player!

You telling Nick to not hit the camera is like telling a child where the cookies are.

[@sirjain4408]

HAHAHHA

[@JamalStudios335]

cool

[@vubot1]

Of course Nick Kyrgios cares. And just because he had a light hit before the match doesn't mean he doesn't train his ass off. No one - NO ONE - in the world is naturally gifted enough to beat Fed, Nadal, and Djoker without playing a zillion hours. Sure, Kyrgios can sharpen his attitude, but to think he doesn't train hard or doesn't care is an illusion.

[@Dixel56]

vubot1 I agree 100%

[@jynxified123]

I agree as well. Doesn't change the fact that he just barely hit during the warmup which is surprising considering its before a masters 1000 match.

[@blizzardbeatzz8469]

Go follow him instagram where you'll see what he does like everyday/ every second day at least. He's almost never on court

[@bmwf1joel]

He just meant he was relaxed and chilled!!!

[@vubot1]

@@chrischris9253 There are probably 500 guys in the top 1000 who would say that about themselves. You're naive to think that Kyrios just hits a few balls when he feels like, then walks on the court to beat the top three players in history.

[@nickwebb6867]

At least he is consistent in his DGAF attitude

[@salladim96]

Except when against Federer in Laver Cups, but other than that, yeah I love watching him styling on everyone.

[@Tennisnerd]

Wow. That is one relaxed "warm-up". Love your professionalism though. Very inspiring.

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thanks, appreciate it lot. Please if you can, share it with few friends who might also like to watch it. Yes, definitely it was the most relaxed practice I had at the Masters. By far! :)

[@FollowFunk]

@@tenfitmentennisimpulse I don't mean to criticize because you seem to be a diligent and hardworking hitting partner, but I was shocked that you told him "don't hit my camera." I mean, it's your job to help him train and warm up however he sees fit. So don't you think saying such a thing kind of puts a constraint on him and makes him feel like he can't serve wherever he needs to? Just curios your thoughts on that in hindsight.

Thanks Carlos! Really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it! If you can, please share it with few friends who you think might also like to watch it.

[@itzdavidhoo]

Im a diehard Kyrgios fan and i was so happy watching him win today's match with rafa but ive got to admit that he's putting in zero effort in this practice and looked like he dint give a shit abt it. But he did say that he enjoys basketball more than tennis so it cant be forced when he's passion isnt there i guess. I believe he could easily be in the top 5 if he actually wants to. Anyways, thanks for uploading these sessions! I really enjoy it!

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thanks for your thorough comments, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us! Really glad you enjoy our videos, please share them with some friends who you think might like to watch them as well. I agree about Nick. That win against Rafa was unreal. Especially how he saved those match points at the end. He was also a bit lucky though. But again, luck comes with risk! He has that "I don't care" attitude which, in my opinion, on one side brought him to where he is now (currently #72 but in general top 20) but on the other side it prevents him to become one of the best in the world. You need give everything to become the best!

[@willkittwk]

So he's got a chance to be great at tennis and probably whatever at basketball.

[@Cesarini77]

I believe he could be better than federer if he gets his shit together . There, i said it!

Thanks Evan for your comment and kindness. I am not really a fan, just really respectful to any of this guys since I know how difficult it is to achieve this level! Just becoming a ATP top 100 player is a huge success, not to mention being top 20 player in the world!

From your panic setting up a camera to scrambling to get on court and the way you subtitled the video. Seems like to nick you are nobody but to you this was the best day of your life.

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate for your point of view. I am just full of respect for all these top players.

[@Loddentidster]

Myself being a nervous wreck for years, I can actually appreciate how he "doesen't care". That must be a deliberate mental framework of his. If I could play at nick's level, and I had to be conyroversially careless in order to do it, then so be it.

[@FollowFunk]

Yeah I think it's a way he stays loose.

[@alexhe1987]

If he can stay relaxed and loose, why are all those meltdowns?

[@klo4880]

@@alexhe1987 That is working against you my man

[@jmasked5082]

Totally. The 'I don't care' is a defense mechanism when he wishes he had more control over things. Could see it when he resumed his match with Humbert at Wimbledon after it was stopped at 3-3 in the fifth set. The stakes were so high for those last few games and he'd had 24 hours to stew on it. It's him in the tunnel waiting to come on and saying 'oh man, i just want to go to the pub and have a beer'.

[@mrjavichulo]

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thank you for your kind words, I am just very aware of how difficult it is to become one of the best players in the world where there are thousands of great players fighting even just to get ATP ranking. All these guys deserve huge respect, especially when you are a tennis player yourself and you understand very well all what it takes to get there.

[@Landberggggg]

i dont even play tennis like that but theres something so satisfactory about watching tennis, and the sound of a clean tennis shot is the best sound in the world

I don't know why, but I enjoyed watching this video more than most of the other warm up videos with two known pros hitting. Nice hitting!

[@yipfaitse1734]

Tenfitmen, this is so nice to see. Wondering if us mere mortals will ever have a chance to hit with insanely great players like you....

[@typweeb]

I like how you added certain points when Nick spoke and apologizing. A lot of people make him seem like a bad dude for being mad during games but I honestly think it can't be controlled that easily. Having a competitive spirit sometimes can be bad in the sense that you act out without thinking. I rather he has a competitive spirit than to fix it tbh. As a person who also have a similar issue, I tend to act out and shit which isn't great but when I fixed that mindset it became hard for me to play seriously in the sports I love.

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thanks for your thorough comment! My opinion though is that he is lacking of competitive spirit. I've seen him lose matches without trying at all. That's not a trait of a champion.

[@typweeb]

@@tenfitmentennisimpulse Sometimes it feels more like he gives up cus he thinks there is no way of winning. I think he is lacking more of the not giving up attitude.

How’d you get to play with him? I’m new to the channel and am curious

[@NickLadushkinFoxmillet]

Kyrgios is probably the most talented player there is today from younger guys, those shots like at 4:16 and his overall relaxed behavior show how many majors he has under this thick layer of 'i don't give a damn'. It's physically painful to watch him wasting that talent to a degree.

The part about not caring about mistakes after missing, in Federer's practice rallies he is also the same, alot of pros miss in rallies but continue to rally I believe

[@roumenspassov1604]

I think its his 'lack of caring' attitude is what propelled him to his success, to be honest. Too many people put too much pressure on themselves and I think too much pressure does more harm than good. (Talking from my own experience). Great session!

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thanks Roumen for your comment. I agree with you here. It's maybe not THE reason why he became world top player, but it certainly helped him. I understand very well what you mean by putting too much pressure on yourself. It's when you want something too much and simply care too much. You put too much effort and have high expectations for yourself. I think that the key is to be hungry, work hard, but at the same time to turn off emotions as much as you can and care less when you lose matches.

[@woswasdenni1914]

i think people dont understand that this might be the most difficult thing in tennis todo. its much harder than beeing in a match. here as a new player, not quiet on that level yet, you dont want to emberras youself, make any mistakes, or make your pro partner annoyed by not beeing on the level he expect you to be. its like playing in a gallery and every muscletwitche is beeing judged. its hard not to think then of any twitch which will screw up everything in a second. the psychological pressure in this situation is worse than any final youll ever play

[@tenfitmentennisimpulse]

Thanks Alan for your comment and for sharing your thoughts. I understand you. However, my whole experience there was related to the whole event, not just this specific moment. I was already under impression of everything and all the trainings I had prior to this one. Therefore, Nick's attitude really didn't bother me that much. I enjoyed an amazing sunny afternoon, some more hitting and definitely sharing court with one of the greatest talents in tennis.
