Kyrgios believes that his experience from the Australian Open has been key in his journey to the Wimbledon finals and despite admitting to being nervous ahead of his match, he will be entering the finals in good spirits and completely focused on the game, he said, “I think the doubles in Australia has really helped me at a Grand Slam level, Even though it’s doubles and… you don’t need obviously the physical capacity to win a doubles Grand Slam that you do the singles one.”
Kyrgios continued, “But I felt like just the kind of mundane, you win a match, you have a day off, you practice, you go again during a two-week period. I realized in Melbourne it’s a long time. I didn’t realize that these days off and the practice is so crucial. Like, it’s just like, I beat Paul Jubb 7-5 in the fifth set in my first round, and now I’m in the Wimbledon final. You just have to ride the waves, and roll with the punches.”
