Nick Kyrgios was absolutely stunned by Nadal's comeback win over Medvedev in Melbourne and it swayed him towards Nadal as potentially the greatest of all time.
Nick Kyrgios, like many, was absolutely stunned by Nadal's ability to turn around the match against a very tough opponent. It was an impressive display in many ways and the Australian raved about it:
“Match-up wise I think it’s a horrible match-up for Rafa. The court’s not playing like Rafa wants it to play to win, like. He wasn’t gonna get any free points on serve. Medvedev just gonna make him play too much, Medvedev can still serve through the court."
Kyrgios further said:
"When he won the first set and then he won the second, I was like it’s gonna be very tough for Rafa to come back. I actually saw 3-2, 0-40. Then I turned it on like 2 and a half hours later and my initial thoughts were ‘no f------ way."
Kyrgios also touched upon the GOAT debate saying Nadal will be the GOAT if he wins the French Open:
"I have never doubted Rafa that much in his career. I think the GOAT conversation now if he wins French, he’s unquestionably the GOAT if he wins French."
