The Question is :

Would Nick Kyrgios win a grand slam if he had the hearth to fight Lleyton Hewitt?

We know Nick Kyrgios, his approach to life and tennis.

I know that he has great talent, but he also has little enthusiasm for work and lacks the motivation and ambition that characterizes the best!

So my question is, would Nick Kyrgios with the heart to fight of Lleyton Hewitt win a Grand Slam tournament?!
 
Sure. He'd have won 3 or 4.
If his buddy Thannasi wasn't hurt a lot he'd make a few QF or SFs.
Those two probably party too much and have so-so diets causing inflammation and injuries.

Nope. He refused to put the work in. No coach is going to change that.

The short answer is no.

 
Nick would win everything if he had Hewitt's fighting spirit.

That serve, those volleys, his creativity, and Hewitt's discipline?

He would have won everything from 2014 onwards.

No. This guy was never a serious contender to win a grand slam.

Wimbledon basically rigged that draw to give him the final. Which has given him new found credibility (as a grand slam finalist) and has led to his working as a commentator.

Without that Wimbledon run. He wouldn't have had the resume to do that.
 
Oh my God I feel hate boiling when I hear this guy


Last time I switched to German stream and kept hearing Boris Becker even though I didn't understand a thing he said
 
Please don't respond by saying that this isn't 100% true.

Wimbledon is well known for rigging their draws. Just look back at Mahut and Isner. They were scheduled to meet in either the 1st or 2nd round at Wimbledon for three consecutive years. A statistical impossibility.

Nobody likes Nick Kyrgios except for the stoners and the ATP media.
 
What is up with all the Kyrgios threads? The guy couldn't win a slam if his opponent was in a wheelchair. THEE most overrrated player on the tour and he's not a player anymore, he's transitioned to be an awful breath-heavy commentator where he's still a failure. I think it's time to move on/forget Nick exists and focus on the talented players on the tour.

Are you serious,How can we be sure that they could rig the draw?!

Generally Nk as commentator
gives the most power to viewers.

There is power when he comments, I think he also has some media talent ;)

Well, let me ask you this...What's the probability of two players facing each other in the 1st or 2nd round at the same event for three years in a row?

I mean...does anybody remember Vasek Pospisil for being a doubles grand slam champion.

The media acts like Nick Kyrgios broke the internet by winning that grand slam with Thanasi.

What media? None that I know of talk about doubles. Take your user names advice and chill.

Are you saying that the ATP media doesn't talk up Nick's doubles slam with Thanasi? When Nick walked on to do commentary for The Tennis Channel, that's literally the first thing that his co-host said, when introducing him.

OK. So we are referring to all broadcasts stations as the media? Generally media is used disparagingly journalists. The Tennis Channel is a broadcast station and employs announcers (Jon W is a journalist and author). So it would not be surprising to me to hype up a contracted announcer. That is a big difference.

Hot tip, ESPN broadcasts the actual AO and I haven't had to listen to one word from NK the donut.

Not just the broadcast stations. I have read articles that talked up Nick Kyrgios as a grand slam champion. On the same level as Andres Gomez, Goran Ivanisevic, or Andy Roddick (who were all singles grand slam champions.) The media likes to promote Nick in this way as makes him sound a lot more accomplished than he really is.

They wanted Nick to be the next Andre Agassi. The bad boy that could connect with the younger fans and pull in the fringe group, similar to Agassi, Connors, and McEnroe before him. But Nick basically threw in the towel on his career and massively failed to live up to expectations.

Ok. Well you should probably not read those articles anymore. They sound like click bait. Besides, Nick’s done and nobody really believes he’s on the same level as those you mentioned.

They were written by Tennis365. Aren't they part of the ATP Media? I believe they are.

Looks like they are owned by Planet Sports Ltd. Their only listed journalist is Kevin Palmer? After a little digging they are a digital editor. As a general rule, if something you are reading in publication doesn’t have a byline (or a dateline for video) of who wrote it, then it’s not going to meet industry standard for ethics in journalism. Consider it on par with a tabloid.
 
Kyrgios with Hewitt's heart would've told an umpire that a black linesman has the same skin colour as Tiafoe's, and Chela would've spat towards his direction in a match.
 
If if if …doesn‘t exist.

Possibly, but even with that he wouldn't have been beating the big 3 too often in slams. Maybe once out of every 10 times played
 
Hewitt turned every stone. Can't say that about Kyrgios.

Imagine a Kyrgios who didn't whine and control his emotions in the 2022 Wimbledon final. Choked that match with his weak mentality.

tell me you don't understand statistics without telling me you don't understand statistics

Would you place a bet on those odds?

again, this sort of framing shows you don’t understand how statistics work

millions upon millions of low probability events occur every day - this is simply a result of the vast plurality of possible outcomes for many situations. Or to put it another way - if many discrete things can happen, ANYTHING that happens is often - in isolation, when compared to everything that didn't happen - low probability. You just don’t notice these 'low probability events' because they are not interesting to a human brain that is hardwired for pattern recognition.

the probability of any specific player playing any other specific player in the draw is very low - but they all have to play someone. First/early round rematches in grand slams are not unheard of, they are certainly unusual but they do occur from time to time. You noticed this one because the first match was notable and interesting; that is all.

To say that because the first match was notable the ensuing events were fixed is not a statistical conclusion - it's faulty reasoning (i.e. post hoc ergo propter hoc)
