Where would Kyrgios be ranked if he had Jubb's serve?

[Deleted member 791948]

Jubb is ranked 219, has no experience, and still pushed Kyrgios to 7-5 5th Set.
Can you imagine Kyrgios with Jubb's serve?
Nah, because he wouldn't ever qualify for Wimbledon

Where would Jubb be ranked with Kyrgios’ serve

I just find it interesting that McEnroe thinks Kyrgios is a special talent.
Yet servebots are not associated with talent, because Raonic and Karlovic are not praised for their amazing talent.
Kyrgios without the big serve, would not be a pro, and I think McEnroe and others have been tricked into thinking tweeners and underarm serves are a measure of talent
You can see low level club players hitting perfect tweeners and other trick shots....

Serving is not a department that Kyrgios needs to improve upon.

Where would Cerundolo be with Murray's backhand, Safin serve and Gulbis forehand?

With all that, all he really needs is Suresh's footwork. Only then he'll be a complete player.

That's the final missing piece for many players.

Where would Dimitrov be with Rafa’s foot? Would he have 22 slams?

No servebot ever beat Rublev 3 and 0 on hard.

Yep, if you look at the ATP service games won % which tracks stats since the early 2000's, Kyrgios is 5th on the list at 88.30% after Karlovic, Isner, Raonic and Fed.

His return games won % is at 16.01%, which is one position ahead of Raonic's 15.91%. That's firmly in servebot territory and roughly half the win rate of Nadal, Schartzmann, Djokovic and Murray.

No doubt about Nick's huge talent, it's only his head that limits him and hinders him from achieving greater things...

 

[TennisTurkey]

I’m going to take the position that Kyrgios playing trick shots all the time makes him look more talented than he really is.

Contrast that with Nadal and Djokovic who are supremely talented but hide it to a large degree by playing such ruthlessly efficient and disciplined percentage tennis. If they played the court jester then we would see epic shots out of them all the time (but also far more errors).

Hopefully, in the hospital having it removed.
