Few athletes can say they have defeated Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer, but Eurosport’s newest analyst has. As he recovers from a wrist injury, Nick Kyrgios is making an appearance on the mic at the Australian Open. He has the unique accomplishment of defeating all three in their first meetings. But Kyrgios asserted that competing in a Grand Slam against the “Big Three” is a “whole different beast.”
Acquiring victories over Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer at the first attempt is acknowledged by Nick Kyrgios as a “gift and a curse.”
After defeating the “Big Three” on his first try, Kyrgios seemed to have the tennis world at his disposal. Most tennis players would be thrilled to have even one victory over the three tennis GOATs.
When Kyrgios defeated Djokovic in Acapulco, Mexico, in 2017, he finished the uncommon set. After a “rocky” beginning, the couple has since made up, according to Kyrgios, who said they “speak nearly every day and share memes.”
