100%. Kyrgios gets away with this because he knows he is gonna pull through on his powerful serve. Kyrgios is skilled player but I think it was a bit disrespectful towards Medvedev . Medvedev however remained professional throughout (minus the racket abuse )

Grave😂

Quelle insolent 😂

Why? Is the underground such a big difference?

Clearly not their style of play

Yeah out of place - so much so that one day one of them might even win a Masters 1000 on clay.

@@DrMic2112 that's true. But you can't deny that Medvedev said that he hated this surface (several times)

@@ethanrin9518 And he still does.

However, Federer shut it down.

He doesn’t like the sacrificing part

There is no potential if the work ethic isnt there unfortunately.

@@babineaux. True, Imagine what he could have accomplished if he had only taken Tennis seriously. His innate talent is off the charts, but he is so undisciplined he chose to be the court clown

kyrgios is the best player u ever seen@@ver.1.580

Yeah. Pretty much. Looks bored.

😅 what a coolincidence

And on clay, that is!

well if you stand 20 ft behind the baseline, it opens up a lot of angle, even if you're 6'6. On the other hand it definitely gives you more time to react, and also ball slows down a bit, the further it travels...I saw Medvedev play Rublev at the US Open, he was standing against the wall to return, weird

@@geemy9675 well Kyrios pulled out 220km/h serves that basically caught the line. I don't think it's fair to blame Medvedev here.

@@charlestran7000 not blaming him, but standing that far makes you cover way more ground. it's probably related to him being so tall and a bit slower than great returners who hit the ball early & inside the court. I think he's prioritizing the fact that it gives him more time to make a longer swing and hit deep when he can hit the ball, vs blocking the ball and redirecting the speed of the serve and using the better angles enabled by hitting inside the court, like naturally gifted returners do

@@geemy9675 Dude Meddy is a great returner. Look at his stats. He is one of the best (if not the best) returner on tour right now. Like you said, it's just a choice of how he want to approach it. If he stand closer to the baseline, sure it will take away his opponent's time and cover more angle but will reduce the return quality also. It is a trade off and preference that player chose to fit their playstyle. By your logic, u think Roger is better returner than Rafa and Nole because he stand closer to the baseline?

I believe you need to have both to be a big 3.

How many slams did “talent” get him

@@brucebogtrotter3430 Kyrgios is bad at backhands. But there is a simple trick to become good at hitting a backhand, but he will never be able to use that trick since he doesn't have talent

@@scottwarren4998 oh yeah the easy trick that no one is aware off not even the pro's. But wait.. if the trick is easy why do you need talent to be able to use it? Do you sell videos class?

But what’s the point of being so disrespectful?

I USED TO LIKE WATCH NICK PLAY.....BUT HIS ATTITUDE REALLY SUCKS...............UNLIKE MCENROE...........WHO DID ANGRY FOR A PORPOSE......NICK'S ARROGANCE WAS HIS DOWNFALL.

En que año fue?

​@@R.DarioZaragoza ni idea, pero aupa zaragoza

@@eperezghedu1 aupa

15:40 These 40 seconds are gold 😂

Too OP

Eh si

He would win 95% of his service games

Djokovic

Federer.

Nice catch my man

13:10

If he took it seriously, he would have won titles. But he let his emotions beat him down. However, he and Monfills were both geniuses at getting into their opponents’ heads. This is a masterclass of how to throw them off their game.

Yes, Yes NICK Is The Main Man. Miss Him So Much. COME BACK COME BACK P L E A S E !!!!!

Lol. Idk how I missed that... The look on medvedev's face before the second serve.... Lmfao 😂

He was a shame glad he’s gone for good

fr@@giovannipisu1883

Yes We DO Miss Nick Tremendously. Come BACK!!!

I love The Wire but hate the comparison because watching Nick is more akin to watching something trashy.

Totally. These guys were playing more like singles pickleball than singles tennis. And that's why it was so much more entertaining than normal. 😜

He will never come back. Back would mean getting all these awful comments twice over and all these dreadful video makers working even harder to get people hating on him. Who needs it?

Glad you had fun my man!

@@WivoRN So why do you induce these people to hate Nick? These guys - Meddy, Zverev, Kyrgios, Grigor, Tsitsipas, Tiafoe...over a dozen of them used to make tennis so much fun to watch and people like you jeer and mock them so they have faded away or completely stopped entertaining. What a waste of tennis!

Bweeh

People also compare him to Neymar alot, I get It in a sense but Neymar and Conor are both champions who won the biggest trophies/titles. Althought Kyrgios was close at Wimbledon 2022 he didn't win, I don't even think he won a Masters 1000 in his career so he's not a champion, althought he should have been. I still enjoy watching him tho

​@@theobecquet8477of course he's a champion, he won a Grand Slam in doubles. People are acting like it's nothing.

In several years people will not remember what sport he played. Nobody.

Lol, iconic 🤣🤣? What are you his long lost cousin? He's entertaining I'll give you that. Iconic? Thanks for good laugh 🤣🤣

Thanks man!

He's beyond unprofessional.

The following day he was disqualified for getting too upset with some guys in the crowd who were heckling him and racially abusing him. but that's Rome for you. Ruud, his opponent that day, cheered and crowed with delight when he was dq'd. Quite the gent.

He will never play on clay again. He was disqualified the day after this match because the crowd are so horrible and racist. He vowed never to play on clay and never has since.

It seems consistent with any form of artistry.. (and I'd count top tier athleticism as art, just like any painting or sculpture). The more gifted you are in one area (be it art, math, music, etc) the less you have left over for the "normal things" that the rest of us take for granted. They say we only use a fraction of our brain (the number seems to change depending on who you ask), and I think that's largely true.. but I don't think that means there's parts of your brain that are dormant and just waiting to be used for something. I think that if you train your brain to be an incredible tennis (or paint or sculpture or whatever) processing machine, it necessarily takes energy and resources away from other areas.. it doesn't just grow out of nowhere. My uncle can see/visualize/feel complex mathematics and physics in his head (a talent that attracted the team that built CERN and ultimately he helped them design and build it)... But I'll be damned if he can hold a regular, natural human conversation without appearing like an alien who has intensively studied human interactions, but is now trying it for real for the first time.

Rome masters 2019

Damn Shame. He Has So Much Potential. So Talented. Genius, But Tormented Soul

He did win a major though….

Major what⁉⁉😂@@RobGaming12

A grand slam? Have you won one ?

Which one?🤔 Evidently you know absolutely nothing about tennis‼@@RobGaming12

How is it relevant in this video?

@@Stu49583 yes.

Absolutely True. What A Talent. Miss Him Terribly. People Criticise Him For "Bad Behaviour" What About Daniel And Novak Smashing Racquets???? People Love To Criticise, But Love Watching The Drama. Go Figure??? My All Time Favourite Player Go Nick, Go.
