“Nick Kyrgios has a chance to do it all” – Wilander

Former world No 1 and tennis commentator Mats Wilander believes that Australia’s Nick Kyrgios could do something unprecedented if he wins a Grand Slam.

Kyrgios, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022 but has played only one event in the last two years due to injury, returns to the tour in Brisbane before heading to Melbourne for the Australian Open.

Speaking to Eurosport, Wilander, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, says that if Kyrgios wins a Grand Slam, he will tick every single box possible.

If he wins the Grand Slam, I believe maybe for the first time ever, a single player would have ticked every single box that you can tick.

“I think Nick has revolutionised the sport in many ways. Players are actually using part of his arsenal or his repertoire. Now, here’s another statement, if Nick goes out, and he plays his absolute best tennis, and if he wins the Grand Slam, I believe maybe for the first time ever, a single player would have ticked every single box that you can tick,” Wilander said.

“He is competitive, the level is high, the mental attitude is brilliant, the repertoire and the variety of crazy shot-making and the jokes he cracks, no one has ever done it all. Nick Kyrgios has a chance to do it all.”
