"He has a chance of upsetting Djokovic" - Wilander on Kyrgios' Wimbledon final chances

Nick Kyrgios 'has a chance' of creating an upset against Novak Djokovic on Sunday in the final of Wimbledon, that is according to Mats Wilander speaking for Eurosport who believes that the unpredictable Aussie could yet pull a rabbit out of the hat and produce when it matters most.

He said:

"Obviously, Novak Djokovic is the favourite on paper, but Nick Kyrgios is serving maybe the best that anyone has served since Pete Sampras. It’s very hard to understand how Novak Djokovic is going to get a lot of returns back in play - but that’s Novak Djokovic, he does. I think it all depends on Nick Kyrgios and how he serves. If he has a great serving day, he has a chance. From the baseline, it is going to be very tough for Kyrgios. Yes, Djokovic is the favourite, but you want Nick Kyrgios to play great so that we have a great final.

He continued:

"I think the crowd most probably will be behind the person that is not winning mostly. I think at the start, the crowd will most probably be on Nick Kyrgios’ side because a lot of people will come to Wimbledon and not have seen Nick Kyrgios play. I think the more interesting question is how Nick Kyrgios is going to engage the crowd, how is he going to interact with the crowd. Will it take him needing to be winning from the beginning to be positive, talk to the crowd, and talk to his box. Literally, I have no idea what is going to happen between these two in terms of body language and in terms of who the crowd is going to support."
