Nick Kyrgios has a great opportunity before him to give himself an even more important satisfaction in the 2022 edition of Wimbledon. The Australian is having an excellent season on grass and has managed to take advantage of his draw, thanks also to the retirement of the Italian Matteo Berrettini, finalist last year, to reach the semi-finals of the tournament.
The Canberra native was the protagonist of a beautiful victory in the third round against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas: the great battle caused discussion but also amazed the large audience in the stands. The 27-year-old seemed more focused and less controversial during matches, not a coincidence, probably, that he completed a streak of consecutive successes.
On Sunday 10 July, taking advantage of the retirement of the Spanish champion Rafael Nadal on the eve on the semifinal of the Championships, due to an abdominal tear of 7 millimeters, which compromised his progress in the London Slam, Kyrgios reached his first Slam final, in which he will play against Novak Djokovic.
Definitely an opportunity for Kyrgios to exploit his best game on his beloved London grass-cpurts.
Panatta attacks Kyrgios
Adriano Panatta also spoke on the Nick Kyrgios and what happened especially against Tsitsipas, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
The former Italian tennis player said: “There is no doubt that he is a great talent, but he must understand that disrespecting his opponents is hateful.” Then he continued with a strong observation: “I think in the end someone with him will fix things, not on the pitch but in the locker room,” he added.
On the question of the bottom line: “I once did this to Lendl in the Davis Cup, I have regretted it all my life. It’s not done,” he concluded. About 24 hours and then it will be time to come back to the court for Nick Kyrgios, who will play his chances of entering into Wimbledon history. Nick will have his lifetime chance to win a Slam, despite the opponent on the other side of the net will be Djokovic.
