The Aussie bad-boy, 22, was asked to name his three favourite players to watch today in a Twitter Q&A.

Nadal has won 16 Grand Slam titles , including two this season, and is top of the world rankings with a few weeks left of the season.

But he could't make it in Kyrgios' list of starts he likes seeing in action.

Instead, Kyrgios named Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga as his favourites

According to the article (see OP), Kyrgios was asked to name favourite players to watch. Kyrgios replied: "I like watching Feds, Tsonga and Murray."

It's no surprise that he likes to watch Fed, there are some similarities between them:

According to the the same article (see OP), Kyrgios was asked a couple of questions on Fed and he answered that the hardest thing about playing him was being barracked by Fed's wife.
He [Kyrgios] said: "Mirka heckling and whistling at me before I serve and between serves!!"
Here she is:

Speaking of Mirka, she hasn't been quiet during (some?) other matches, too. For exmple, during the match between Fed and Waw at the 2014 WTF. After Waw complained about that, she called him ‘CryBaby’.

Do you have a comprehension problem ? This thread is about Fed, Kyrgios and Rafa.

What has Mirka to do with this thread ?

Mirka is in the article you posted (linked to your OP).


As for Rafa, there is only one Kyrgios's answer related to Rafa in the article you posted (in your OP).
Asked for his tennis highlight of the year,
Kyrgios wrote: "Between @RafaelNadal and @rogerfederer they've had all the main highlights. Rafa winning 10 at RG or Feds at Wimby for me." ¤¤

The article has several parts to it including the Basel and Vienna part.

As the OP, I decided that I want to just discuss just Kyrgios, Rafa and Fed.

Are you this dense for real ?

as regards nickie, i'm afraid his fate is already sealed :(
his statement is unequivocally considered as a heretic offense by the GBC (golden bull council) and must therefore be castigated by both dismemberment and burning at the stake, according to the 666th verse of the Book of the Frying Pan.

Nick seems to get asked this a lot.

He has been pretty consistent about the different answers he gives, so he can praise multiple players in slightly different ways.

1. In terms of the best he say's objectively it's arguably Rafael Nadal
2. For HIM the best is Roger Federer
3. His favourites to watch are JWT, Andy Murray, Roger Federer

I know he is good friends with Andy Murray and JWT, so that could be a reason why he loves to watch those two play in particular.

Nick is telling it how he sees it, and there are no inconsistencies in what he has said.

I don't know if it's related but Andy often mentions players he loves, finds hard to play, and are the best in separate ways as well. I remember him mentioning that Rafa was the toughest guy he ever played.

I wouldn't want that thing on me either. I never realized when they show the boxes, that the cameras for it are static and in front of their faces.

Hmm. TV commentators have watched U.Toni like hawks through cameras, but he hasn't covered cameras. Nothing to hide.

I don't blame Federer for it, but it did look really sinister when they cloaked the cameras and prevented access. Not a good look not co-operating with the organisers who have given you the facilities to watch the match in.

Nick is 0-5 against the Muzz.

Perhaps they were all easy losses? ;)

:eek: Muzz gaslights Kyrgios pretty bad in most of their matches. The only guy who for sure is in Kyrgios's head.
