Nick Kyrgios will play in his first Grand Slam semifinal at the 2022 Wimbledon and it will be against a man that he beat 8 years ago.
At the 2014 Wimbledon, then wild-card Nick Kyrgios defeated Rafael Nadal and he got quickly recognized as one of the biggest talents by the tennis world. Now, eight years later, the 27-years-old Australian will play against Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of the 2022 Wimbledon and aim to reach his maiden Grand Slam final.
"Yeah, obviously it would be pretty special to play Rafa here. We've had some absolute battles on that Centre Court. He's won one against me, and I've won one against him. Obviously, we know we are two completely different personalities."
"I feel like we respect the hell out of each other, though. I feel like that would be a mouth-watering kind of encounter for everyone around the world. That would probably be the most-watched match of all time. I would argue that."
