‘My Kid Is Trying the Underarm Serve’ – American Doubles Legend Bob Bryan Says Nick Kyrgios Has Had a Huge Influence on the Tennis Society

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has had a fantastic 2022 season on the Tour. He started the year in dominant fashion, lifting the Australian Open doubles title. However, his season’s highlight came at Wimbledon, where he reached his first major final in singles. Subsequently, many prominent personalities in the tennis world praised the Aussie’s performance during the season. Among many such names was the legendary doubles champion, Bob Bryan, who shared his appreciation for the player in an exclusive interview.

Identical twins, Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, are retired American professional tennis players. Fans consider the brothers to be the most successful tennis duo of all time. The Bryans have won multiple Olympic medals, including gold in 2012, and have won more professional matches, than any other duo.

Bob Bryan gave his thoughts on Nick Kyrgios

The Bryan brothers are the only team in history to win all major titles, four Grand Slam titles, Olympic gold medals, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 champions, ATP World Tour Finals and the Davis Cup Trophy as a doubles team. In an exclusive interview with All Court Tennis Club, Bob Bryan shared his views on the controversial Australian player. He shared his excitement about witnessing Nick Kyrgios win the Australian Open 2022 doubles championship.

Bob Bryan said, “We were excited to see him break through on the doubles court. He is so talented. He had those stadiums rocking in Australia. You had fans come in, they weren’t tennis fans. These were kids off the street, skateboarders, and real urban culture coming in to root for this guy. He is a showman. He understands entertainment and they were amped up. It was great for doubles to have a guy like that breaking through. I think he is good at the sport.”

On Kyrgios’ controversial behavior, the legendary player further added, “As a parent, sometimes you question his decisions out there. Some of the things he says and sometimes you don’t want to be front row with your kids, but everyone is talking about him. He is packing stadiums, tournament directors want him to sell tickets. Nick Kyrgios just gets it. He gets the entertainment and kids just love him. My kid is trying the underarm serve and the through-the-leg shots. He’s interesting, so I think that is only going to attract more people to his sport.”

The 27-year-old Aussie star has had an impressive run in 2022, reaching the Wimbledon final for the first time. However, the bad boy of tennis will not play in the Paris Masters this year. He had injured his left knee earlier this year and had also pulled out of the Atlanta Open.
