"On grass, I would be top five, top 10 in the world" - Kyrgios touts grass-court prowess ahead of Wimbledon

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has talked up his chances on grass, saying he thinks he is a “top five or top 10” player on the surface.

Kyrgios, who is currently ranked World No. 65 in the ATP rankings, reached the semi-finals of the Stuttgart Open on grass last week. He is set to face World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round of the Terra Wortmann Open Halle after easing past Daniel Altmaier in the first round.

Kyrgios’ big serve and powerful groundstrokes can make him a formidable opponent on grass and he reckons he is up there with the best on the surface.

“On grass, you know, I would be top five, top 10 in the world, definitely,” he told Tennis TV. “If I'm feeling good on grass, I feel really, really comfortable on it.”

Kyrgios is yet to win a title on grass and his best result at Wimbledon was in 2014 when he lost to Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals. He hasn’t made it past the third round of Wimbledon since 2016, but might be fancied to make a run this year.
