Now there is less and less time left for Nick Kyrgios to return to the courts, as it will be this month at the ATP Brisbane (December 29 to January 5). The Aussie will try to prepare as much as possible to face the Australian Open, a tournament that will welcome him with open arms, at home and surrounded by his people. However, during this time he hasn't been competing, Kyrgios has been active, working as a commentator or discussing hot topics like Jannik Sinner's doping case. And the latest from the Australian has been to compare his tennis intelligence with the 'Big 3'.

That's right. In the podcast "Let's Trot", Nick was designing his perfect player, taking the best from each member of the 'Big 3': Roger Federer's slice, Novak Djokovic's backhand, and Nadal's physique. Nevertheless, Kyrgios claimed that his experience of playing against them and Andy Murray has allowed him to excel them in a specific aspect of the game. And although he made these statements in March, they now gain more relevance as he is about to return to the courts, where he could meet Nole in Australia.

Always bet on himself

"I have played against Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, and Murray. I have a higher tennis IQ than them. I don't know if anyone in tennis history has reached the Wimbledon final without a coach. So, regarding the IQ, I would choose myself," confidently stated Kyrgios in the interview.

There is no doubt that the Canberra native believes in his potential like no other, making him a very dangerous player for anyone. Despite having played only one match in the last two years, Nick will be a rival that many will want to avoid both in Brisbane and in the first Grand Slam of the season. What do you think about these bold statements?
