Despite having infamous notoriety on the court, Nick Kyrgios has often amused the tennis realm by outclassing some of the best players on tour. The bad boy of tennis and his performances has also impressed one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, Novak Djokovic. His ‘bromance’ with the Serbian tennis star has further won the hearts of tennis fans.
However, when it comes to another tennis legend, Rafael Nadal, the Australian star has completely different feelings. Talking about the Spanish tennis star, Kyrgios has recently made a surprising revelation about his latent thoughts about Nadal.
Nick Kyrgios says he wants to ‘kill’ Rafa Nadal.
The Australian tennis player was recently featured in an interview with the renowned actor and comedian Jon-Bernard Kairouz. During the interview, Jon-Bernard played the ‘F**k, Marry, Kill’ question game to gauge Kyrgios’ sentiments towards the Big 3 of tennis, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic. He asked him for a preview of his picks among those tennis legends.
Nick Kyrgios answered by saying he has often thought about it while seeing them in the locker room. While talking about the Serbian tennis legend, he said, “I will probably marry Novak.”
Along with many fans, Federer’s charm has caught the attention of the 27-year-old. Notably, when it came to the “Who’d you f**k?” question, Kyrgios’ pick was the Swiss Maestro. On the other hand, the Spanish tennis legend Nadal evoked wholly different emotions in the Australian. Kyrgios said that he would “probably kill Rafa.”
