We wish Kyrgios was on court rather than a commentary booth - Roger Federer
Roger Federer gave his thoughts on Nick Kyrgios commenting his third round match against Taylor Fritz at the Australian Open. The Swiss said: 'We need him to play first before commentating for the whatever 10-plus years. No, he's always good for a headline. Look, I like Nick. I like the way he plays and all that. Yeah, I was happy to hear that he was in the commentary booth. He's got a bit of time, sticks around, shows he's passionate about the game. That's what we need to see. But we wish he was on the court rather than a commentary booth. But I hope he did a good job.'
Federer, the two-time defending champion lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the pre-quarter-finals. The third seed at the Australian Open dropped to the sixth place of the ATP rankings when they were updated on Monday, 28th January. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal retained their rankings as the world no. 1 and 2 respectively. Alexander Zverev was ranked 3rd, followed by Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth place and Kevin Anderson in the fifth place. Tsitsipas reached a career-high as the world no. 12 for his efforts in reaching the semi-final (lost to Nadal).
