Nick Kyrgios spoke with the press at the ATP 500 Halle 2026, being asked about the feelings he experienced when seeing a fellow player from his generation, Alexander Zverev, become a Grand Slam champion. His response was reported by Tennis365.

"I have realized that I have been more successful than most athletes, not only in tennis but in any sport and virtually in any field. That's why I have enough confidence to know when it was my moment, but also enough humility to understand that now may be someone else's moment."

"Seeing Sascha finally break through that barrier has been amazing. He has been one of the most consistent players on the tour for the last ten years, and many people forget that terrible injury he suffered ends the career of 99% of players. He could have settled for all he had already achieved, but he had the ambition to come back, regain his level, surpass it, and even become a better player. Honestly, that seems quite frightening to me."

"The obsession and dedication required for something like this are incredible. I briefly saw him this morning in the cafeteria and gave him a thumbs-up gesture. He knows what I've said about him during these days, and I'm very happy for his success. I think he had to endure a lot of adversity, many criticisms, and many detractors. Yesterday I saw an absurd video about the so-called 'lost generation,' that generation that first had to coexist with the Big Three and then with Sinner and Alcaraz. It's not pleasant to hear things like that."
