“I was so scared”: That’s what Kyrgios said about reaching the final

“I had a shocking sleep, to be honest,” reported the 27-year-old on Friday before his first Grand Slam final. He only slept for an hour. "I was so scared, I already felt so nervous and I'm not usually nervous." He kept imagining what it would be like if he won or lost. The Spaniard Nadal withdrew from the semi-final against Kyrgios on Thursday evening because he suffered a tear in an abdominal muscle. Kyrgios will now face the winner of the game between defending champion Novak Djokovic from Serbia and Briton Cameron Norrie in the Wimbledon final on Sunday. “Bromance” with Djokovic Kyrgios does not see the longer break as an advantage. “People immediately say: He has another day off. But it’s definitely a shock to the system because I’ve played so many matches.” Kyrgios said he has a kind of “bromance” in common with Djokovic, a friendly relationship between men. “I think everyone knows there was no love between us for a while. That was healthy for the sport. Every time we played against each other there was hype,” recalled the controversial Australian. “I was almost the only player and someone had to stand up for him around the drama at the Australian Open” Nick Kyrgios Kyrgios initially criticized Djokovic for his behavior during the corona pandemic. However, when the unvaccinated Serb was refused entry to Australia, he received support from Kyrgios. “I was almost the only player and someone had to stand up for him around the drama at the Australian Open,” the Australian said. “Respect is earned there. Not on the tennis court, but when there is a real life crisis and someone stands up for you.” Novak Djokovic also reached the Wimbledon final on Friday evening.
