Nick Kyrgios unfazed by Philippoussis criticism: 'I don't know what to say'
In an interview Mark Philippoussis suggested Nick Kyrgios might have a fear of showing that he is trying on court. Asked if he sees any element of truth in that, Kyrgios replied: 'Not really. I mean, I don't know what to say. Cheers, Mark.'
On his first round opponent Milos Raonic, Kyrgios added: 'Obviously Milos is a tough player. We've played each other a couple times at Grand Slams. We've played each other at Masters events, tour events. We both know each other's games fairly well. We know what's coming. I know what can happen, he knows what I'm going to do. It's going to be incredibly tough. I'm very excited just to be out here in the Aussie summer in front of the home crowd, to play a tough opponent. I can see it as a good thing. I have to be locked in from the get-go. I'm excited. Again, like, it's going to be a tough match. He's playing well, so... I'm looking forward to it. Obviously I got to take care of my service games. He's got one of the best serves in the world. He's proven that year after year. He's serving his first shots incredibly good. He's incredibly disciplined, never really gives up easy points, always tries his hardest every point.'
