"I see him as someone who is really good for the game" - McEnroe gives thoughts on Kyrgios and comparisons between them
ATPTuesday, 25 October 2022 at 15:30
John McEnroe has been a longtime fan of Nick Kyrgios and his tennis and seeing him do well this year made him happy.
The American former player who was Kyrgios before Kyrgios always expressed frustration that the Australian was not committed to the sport because he believed him to be the biggest star after the big three. While many would disagree with that McEnroe always maintained that no other player moves the needle as much as Kyrgios and he's right.
Like him or not, Kyrgios is very polarizing and eyeballs follow him everywhere he goes. He spoke to Australian TV about his new biopic briefly touching upon Kyrgios:
"With Nick, he's moving the needle. There are a lot of new fans coming into the sport because of him. That's a real positive thing and he's electrifying in a way."
He then added the comparisons between the two players due to their outbursts on the court and very passionate approach:
"He's the guy I'm most compared to. And he's a guy that if he committed, he could really do some really good things in tennis."
