I always respected Patrick for telling the truth during the US Open (Osaka-Serena) final. Pam Shriver went courtside and asked him if he coached her during the match and he said yes. He contradicted Serena’s claims and that took balls. I still respect him for that. 🫡
“before you’re a tennis player, you’re a human” is what majority of Nick Kyrgios haters need to open their minds and realise. The growth on and off court that this man has shown is insane, and what’s even more insane is that some people are blind to that and just mindlessly hate on the guy.
“Discipline of doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it”. I would imagine anyone trying to excel or be great at something could relate to that.
So, basically because coaching were cheating so much, then it should be ok to coach a player during the match? Nope… i agree with Nick on this one. The beauty of tennis was that the player had to figure it out by themselves.
Very deep conversation from 2 people who thrive through adversity and pain . It would be great if they both could take a journey together as coach and player , but I am not so sure how much nick is in to it.
Met Mr. Ramsay after a long and extraordinary lunch at his eponymous restaurant on Royal Hospital Road… My friend and I were invited by the Maître D’ into the kitchen and Mr. Ramsay could not have been more kind and gracious… I never will forget that moment! Thank you Nick for a great interview… 👏🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Agree with Nick on no in-match coaching in tennis. Could be interesting that a player's support/team also aren't allowed in a stadium/arena for matches, or are monitored to prevent "illegal" coaching. I like rule change to one serve, but even if keep both serves remove let cords on serves.
Nick thank you for this masterpiece. You are so talented and intelligent. You asked amazing questions and I also love how Pratick managed to answer them in such a pleasant way.
If Nick wants to become the GS champion, he must be ready to "die" on the court. In 2009 at AO semi-final against Verdasco Nadal went 5 sets, in the final he beat Federer in 5 sets two days later. In 2012 at AO Novak played 5 sets against Murray in the semi-finals to defeat Nadal in 5 sets in the final. 2017 Federer at the age of 36 played 4 out of 7 matches in 5 sets to win the first GS after 5 years at AO. These are examples of champions.
Very insightful from PM. it's a common problem, talented players not trying their hardest for fear of failing (and then being labelled not talented which has been a part of their self-image for so long). Nick said that no one has ever said this to him before but I recall that John McEnroe made similar comments at a Laver Cup a few years back (Nick being afraid of trying etc). The sign that Nick has that talent identity crisis is his on court tantrums. A tennis coach once told me that the real meaning of most on court tantrums is the player communicating to those watching that: "I hope you know that I am better than this - pls do not judge my by how this is going so far". I think that is what Nick does (no judgment, I have done it myself!). Nick appears to be a nice guy deep down and a brilliant tennis player (not just talented), I hope he can let that part of his identity go, he will enjoy the game so much more if he does.
Nick, in my opinion you are a great interviewer. Very relaxed and natural and you do not try to dominate allowing the person you are interviewing to fully answer the questions you pose. Keep going as this can be your next career after tennis.
What I've realised listening to Nick on his podcast and when he's done some commentating for tennis channels is that he's actually quite shy! That really surprised me, but I totally agree, he will have a very successful career doing podcasts if that's what he chooses to do👍
Nick, you are a great interviewer and you obviously have an intelligent eye for the game, not just talent. Hope you get fit and we see you on court soon. Just hope you can get it right mentally. I am not a fan of your bad on court behaviour and the constant yelling at your box. You should treat those guys with more respect for being there for you. It also doesn’t help your game, even if you think it does… the proof is in the results thus far. My read on it is that deep down you were very insecure so you put on a tough man show. But… you seem to be in a better place now and you seem more truly confident… rather than just showing fake bravado… so hopefully that translates to better on court behaviour and better results. I really want to root for you but you have made it difficult thus far… time to finally grow up… It would be a real shame if you don’t win a Grand Slam, you are too good not to have one… please don’t suddenly retire when you get one either… aim a bit higher… at least 2 or 3.
Heartwarming interview. I love both of you guys and I particularly loved both the authenticity and vulnerability you both shared. Thank you. You made my night all the more sweet and happy by watching this. Wish you both ongoing success and hope that you both keep sharing your kind hearts with the world.
I love nick Kyrgios as a tennis player. He is more talented than zverev, Medvedev, tsitsipas, and Rublev in my opinion. I think he has always cared about being the best but was afraid of failure if he never reached those expectations. I think he tells everyone he doesn't care about the game as a defense mechanism, but in all actuality it means everything to him.
