When Toni was asked to comment on Kyrgios, he said,
"From a spectator point of view the match was very frustrating for me. I really struggle with this kind of tennis which is so quick fire that you don't even have the time to think. I don't like it when all you get are big serves and have to wait for a real rally. I like watching Federer, Dimitrov, Djokovic or Murray. I like to see tactics at work out on the court."
After he lost to the hyper-aggressive, shoot-out style of play of Nick Kyrgios in the round-of-16, Rafael Nadal talked about playing guys who really go for their shots and play high-risk tennis on grass.
“Normally on grass the first week when you compete against some players, the things are not very logical,” Nadal said. “The surface creates the opportunity that the players that can play very aggressively, they can see a real chance to win playing with that style, no? Something that on the other surfaces you cannot play that crazy way, no?
“When you arrive in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and when you play against the best players, the things become logical again, no? At the end, the top players want to play with control. The top players want to play the normal play. They don’t want to play crazy aggressive. They play normal.
“Is true that that makes things a bit less difficult for me.”
Dobri su, obojica
