Nick Kyrgios experienced one of the most devastating losses of his career and he shared how he feels afterwards.
The 27-years-old Australian is known for sharing his emotions openly and without any filter. He did so also after losing to Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open. Nick Kyrgios had the biggest chance in his career to win a Grand Slam title and after a five set fight, it disappeared in front of his eyes and after the match, he said:
"Yeah. I mean, yeah, they do. I honestly feel like sh*t. I feel like I've let so many people down. I just don't know. I feel like I'm playing Tokyo and stuff. But, like, I feel like these four tournaments are the only ones that ever are going to matter. It's just like you got to start it all again. I have to wait till Australian Open," Nick Kyrgios said.
"Honestly I don't even really care about any other tournament. Like, I feel like at the Grand Slams, now having success at a Grand Slam, it's just like no other tournament really matters."
"It's like you get better, you get worse, then at a Grand Slam none of it matters. You either win or lose. People don't really care if you got better on the day or you lost 4 in the fifth or played one of the best matches of the tournament," Kyrgios said.
"You lost, so ... That's all people remember at a Grand Slam, whether you win or you lose. I think pretty much every other tournament during the year is a waste of time really. You should just run up and show up at a Grand Slam. That's what you're remembered by," Kyrgios concluded.
