Nick Kyrgios seems to be very sure of himself and his tennis level ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships and he backed it up by saying that he made some Top 10 players look ordinary.
It's hard to argue against Kyrgios in that regard since he's an incredibly talented player. Some Top 10 players looked ordinary against him, but he also looked less than ordinary against some players not ranked in the Top 10 on the ATP Tour.
Either way, none of that matters much, as the most important thing is to win the match, and Kyrgios knows how to do that on the grass courts.
"I’ve played top-10 players in the world this year and made them look pretty ordinary. I know where my game’s at. know if I’m feeling confident, I’m playing well, I’m able to just light it up kind of whenever I want. Do I feel I can beat anybody in the draw on my day? Yeah. Good sleep, good rest. I think that’s one."
He will start his Wimbledon journey against a native player, Paul Jubb, who will test him well. Kyrgios is the better player, but he understands the mindset with which Jubb will play this match.
He knows because he used to be that wild card entry, supported by the home crowd in Australia, where he loves playing as much as he loves Wimbledon.
"I feel like I can put myself in his shoes very well. I was once that kid that got a wildcard at the Australian Open. It felt really good just to be around, soak it all in, the media, the fans, everything, the hype."
"I know how he’s going to be feeling. He’s going to go out there and he’s going to just play freely, nothing to lose."
