It’s Kyrgios after Rafael Nadal withdrew due to an abdominal muscle injury won a place in the Wimbledon final, and when the semi-final duel between Djokovic and Cameron Norrie is over, he will find out his rival in the final.
The Australian supported Novak in difficult times when he was deported from Australia at the beginning of the year.
“It was interesting for the media and everyone watching. I stood by him during the drama in Australia, then I earned his respect. We corresponded every day and I hope we will play in the final,” said Kyrgios, reported by the British media.
The controversial tennis player admitted that he did not expect to reach the first Grand Slam final in his career at the age of 27.
“Today I will do longer training to stay in shape. I have to maintain my adrenaline level, I have to go to the final without the experience of the semi-final. I will rest, I had a shocking dream, I was excited and nervous. I love tennis, but I also love to compete, to play against someone. Win or lose in the final, I will be happy. I never thought that at the age of 27 I would play in the final,” said Kyrgios.
The Australian also stated that his experience at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, when he won the doubles title with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis, helped him a lot at Wimbledon.
