“Entertainment more Important than Wins” – Kyrgios

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios?is ready to get back into the action again. Kyrgios suffered from an elbow injury and was forced to sit out for a while. The Australian will make his long-awaited comeback in Stuttgart.

Since the injury, he has played just one tournament in April, in Houston. This year he has opted to take a more cautious approach, unlike in the past.

He said: ‘I got told not to play the French Open last year and I played it.?I think I?ve made a more mature decision this time and a lot of people are telling me it?s the right decision. All my medical staff, I saw (several) doctors and they all told me it was a smart move to not play Roland Garros.’

Kyrgios was supposed to face Bernard Tomic in the first round of the Stuttgart Open but it was cancelled. He admitted: ‘When I saw my draw I thought I had a massive opportunity to do well,’?.

The Australian also spoke about his expectations for Wimbledon: ‘I?d love to do well there, I don?t think there?s anything stopping me if I have the right preparation in the next couple of weeks. Right now I?m taking it one day at a time with my rehab.

I?m in a good place physically and that?s all I can ask for.’?More than winning, Kyrgios wants to entertain people: ‘At the end of the day, people pay to come and see us, we?re entertainers.

They just want to see exciting tennis. For me, it?s the most important thing, I want to put on a good show.’

The 23-year old will next face Feliciano Lopez in the quarterfinals. Earlier, he had managed to defeat Maximilian Marterer in 3 sets to set up the clash.
