"That lankiness is no joke alright": Tennis analyst believes Daniil Medvedev would beat Nick Kyrgios in a cage fight

Tennis analyst Gill Gross took to the Monday Match Analysis podcast and one of the bizarre topics surrounded who would win in a cage fight between Daniil Medvedev and Nick Kyrgios.
Gross predicted that Medvedev would beat Kyrgios due to his height advantage. He said that the significance of such an advantage should not be taken lightly.
He said that he possesses a tough exterior too but that Kyrgios is more of a lover than a fighter.
"Medvedev. Medvedev wins in a cage fight. That length, that lankiness is no joke alright. That is a big advantage especially if the fight stays on the feet which I imagine it’s going to stay on the feet. I don’t think that either of them will be doing much wrestling or grappling in this MMA cage fight," Gross said.
"I know that Kyrgios in some ways has that hard exterior but I don’t know you know he’s more of a lover than a fighter in my eyes," he said. "But when it comes down to it like who do I think is really you know tougher – [Daniil] Medvedev."
