Nick Kyrgios has to be one of the most talented players of his generation. Most tennis fans know him as an aggressive trash-talker, but he’s not just about that. He had his moments in his career where he shook the tennis world. Kyrgios is one of the very few players to have beat each member of the ‘Big Three‘. 

In a conversation with the master chef Gordon Ramsey in the show “Good Trouble,” the former World No. 13 opened up about his legendary win over Rafael Nadal during the 2014 Wimbledon.

I guess I had the light ball moment when I beat Rafael Nadal to the Centre court in Wimbledon. Like I was going to school, and I didn't even know how good I was. I was just like playing because I entered the tournament. And then I saw the list of guys who has achieved it like Andy Murray and Roger Federer, and I was like okay maybe I got to start taking this seriously maybe.

Kyrgios also mentioned the remarks he received from Piers Morgan.
