“I think we all know that it’s possible now” Nick Kyrgios hopes he could win a grand slam soon

The Australian also spoke about his learnings from the final, hoping he could win a grand slam soon with his team and himself being more motivated than ever before.
Recently, In Washington, during an interview, he said, “I feel like a Grand Slam final doesn’t come around so often for us normal players. Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic played a ton of Grand Slam finals, but that was like the golden opportunity I felt for me. Going up a set as well. There are so many things I would have done differently I think now that I have digested that match, but I’m doing all the right things to put myself in that position again. I think I’m doing that, and my whole team is helping me achieve that goal.
“I think we all know that it’s possible now. I don’t think we thought it was possible to contend for Grand Slams, but now it’s a genuine thing. I think all about motivation and we are on the same page. It’s taken me 27 years (laughs).”
