“Mark continues: ‘But is he a good tennis player? That’s the question. He can win three-set tournaments, but slam tennis is best of five for two weeks, and his fucking mind can’t do it. He can’t do it. So where’s the talent there? He’s talentless, mate; he’s talentless in some columns. Nick’s trophy cabinet? It’s like this table. Which is bullshit for the skill he’s got.’ Kyrgios, for what it’s worth, agrees. In an interview after that Wimbledon he said: ‘I’m a great tennis player but I don’t do the other stuff, you know. I’m not the most professional guy. I won’t train day in, day out. I won’t show up every day. So there’s lots of things I need to improve on to get to that level that Rafa brings, Novak brings, Roger … have been doing for so long. So it just depends how bad I want it.”
