Nick Kyrgios vs Paul Jubb: Preview

There have just been 6 professional appearances for the hard-hitting Kyrgios in the past year and a half–an underwhelming number – and all of them in his home conditions. But things seem to be changing for now. Nick Kyrgios has returned for just only his third event since March 2020.

There’s quite a bit going on every time Kyrgios makes his strides to a tennis court. There are antics on show, which would often make more headlines than the manner in which he had played his tennis. If he feels undone, he won’t need a second invitation to make voice his opinions. It’s always been that way for him. Probably it’s also the reason why it has led to him winning lesser amount of matches than what he has so far. The focus, on more occasions than required, gets shifted to other trivial issues.

But there are some strong performances behind him in this grass-court season that would inspire some of his fans. For the Round of 16 fixture at Halle Open, the big server from Australia met Stefanos Tsitsipas and edged past the Greek in what was a closely fought 3-setter battle where we saw Tsitsipas struggling to get used to what his opponent was throwing his way.

He went past Spanish player Pablo Carreno Busta as well before it took the Polish juggernaut of Hubert Hurkacz to stop him. In a much more recent exchange against Gianluca Mager sent down 29 aces and 59 unreturned serves. On good days, that’s what Nick can produce. When on song, it becomes difficult for the receiver to match his level.

Paul Jubb is a British tennis player. At 22 years of age, he’s yet to make any performances of note. He could only make it to the 2nd round at the Roland Garros last month and crashed out in the first round of this event in 2019. Overall, it doesn’t look very good for the young Brit but we’ve seen many surprises in recent years at the Grand Slam level.

This is the first meeting between these 2 players.

Nick Kyrgios vs Paul Jubb: Match Prediction

The Canberra born Kyrgios is known to blow hot and cold. A certain level of consistency or reliability has always eluded him throughout his career. He can be as good to defeat the best players on the planet one day and also turn up to play some lacklustre tennis on other days. Given Jubb’s scarce exposure at this level, even if Kyrgios does not bring his A game out, we are expecting the Aussie to make short work of this match.

Prediction: Kyrgios to win in straight sets.
