Boris offers to coach Nick but Nick says "Nope"

[Radical Shot]

...and I agree with Nick. Boris is not the type for him...not by a long shot.

Does anyone really think Kyrgios doesn't practice and train?

By his own admission he doesn't do either nearly enough. I'm not saying he literally rolls up to each event without hitting a single ball.

When a guy with terrible fitness (for a pro) says he doesn't train and stays up late playing video games instead, it's very easy to believe.

I like the suit but not the combination. Never a big fan of blings on men.

Nick doesn’t look too bad there though.

That photo is 5 years old.

Naw, he says that to come off as nonchalant and to pretend he's better than he is, particularly if he loses.

"I barely even tried and I still did better than many" etc

If he actually does train, he's horrible at it considering his in match stamina and constant nagging injuries.

 

[undecided]

Yeah it's a matter of statistics.

And many other pro's will hit trick shots on occasion but it will never get so much fuss.

Every ****ing pro over 180cm will be able to hit a half decent tweener.

Nick actually practices his trick shots. During practice I saw him hit about 1 tweener for every 10 regular groundies.

If Boris coached him he'd want Nick to do things like "practice" and "train." And who has time for that?

yea, it is a well known fact that he really doesn't train like an athlete. he just pumps few iron in the gym and that is it. and that is why he gets so tired if he reaches the 2nd week of major

 

[OhYes]

Lol facade? Some of the shots he hits while he's barely even trying, some of the best players could only dream of.

Yeah like he tried 10 times and failed, got 11th for others to dream about it.

Nick Kyrgios responds to Boris Becker’s offer of coaching

Nick Kyrgios appears to have rejected Boris Becker as a potential coach in no uncertain terms. Becker, a six-time Grand Slam winner in his own right, worked with Novak Djokovic for three years and guided the Serb to six Grand Slam triumphs and two years as world No 1. The pair parted ways in 2016 and Becker now works as a regular TV tennis pundit but clearly still has one eye on getting back into coaching, with an opportunity to work with such a talented player as Kyrgios one he could not turn down if offered.

‘I would like to coach him!’ Becker told Eurosport.

‘I think that would be cool, such a player who is not coachable. ‘As a good coach, you have to face the challenge to find a way to communicate with your player. Whether I have to do this to me is another question. ‘But if I just want to live out my passion for tennis, he would be the hottest player. However, when the news of his ‘offer’ came out on Twitter, Kyrgios responded with a simple ‘nope’.

Becker believes that if a coach could find a way to channel the Australian’s undeniable talent, then the sky could be the limit. ‘If he has a good day he will beat Federer, he can beat Nadal and beat Djokovic already. He lacks consistency, continuity and discipline,’ Becker added. ‘But it is up to the trainer to teach him that it is worth it. ‘As a player you can live out by winning, even more than before.’

Becker is not the brightest cookie...

What Nick needs is a shrink, not a coach. Or first a shrink then a coach.

We all need shrinks.

Nick plays everyone else as if they’re not worthy. Who knows, maybe they not! But unless GS trophies start fall off the crowded mantle soon, all of the bravado that goes with hitting a tweener volley to an open court, down double match point, will be left in the dust bins of what-if....

Let's admit it man... what's boris got to offer nick anyway ? he will just turn nick into a drunken playboy and he will never win a major.

I know for a fact he does train (who knows how well or consistently hard) but I just don't think he's that gifted physically in some regards which runs against the prevailing narrative about his 'natural' abilities. He's not the best built guy period and could well be prone to injury in some regards even if he trained more like one of the more 'well known as serious' guys and he may rationalize a lot of it with that in the back of his mind.

I need one to clean up my room. But otherwise...
