I love Nick. I would love for him to get a slam. People put him down for his lack of desire to win many slams but don’t appreciate the talent and how hard he worked to get where he is. He battled his demons. Think he deserves to be celebrated for being this strong and overcoming it all. Hope he wins one slam the next two years.

This has been an incredible interview, both the questions that Mark asked and how in tune Mark was with Nick and the way he let the interview flow and Nick's authenticity and humility made this something special. It truly was an enjoyable interview to watch/listen to. I kept rewinding to re-listen to parts and re-listen to ideas, values, and life themes that you both raised so that I could reflect with my own thoughts, feelings and experiences about it. Thank you to all involved for producing, and, sharing it.

Whether you’re a Nick fan or not, Nick’s highlights reel is top class, freaky and mind boggling all at the same time. Watch Nick v Dustin Brown for an absolute freak show of how not to play tennis. They just don’t teach that stuff. He is certainly gifted with something special and goes against the grain. It’s his MO. I wasn’t a fan of his behaviour and attitude early on but it’s amazing what maturity can do. Goran talking about Nick after Novak’s Wimbledon win with tremendous relief saying he is a dangerous and skilful player sends chills down anyone’s spine. Good luck to you Nick, on and off the court. Spread your wings Eagle. Great interview Mark 👍

NK would be aware of how he managed his tennis in the past, and probably wishes he could’ve done things a bit differently. He seems focused and will give it a red hot go in this next stint. Is it too late? Hopefully he crushes it over the next year or two. I wasn’t really a fan years ago but have grown to like him

@sportslover2356 Ай бұрын

Great background thanks! Would love you to come back again and show them how it's done. The tennis scene right now is only a shadow of what it was a few years ago. Breathe some life back into it!

One thing I love about him is that despite his “bad boy” rep and occasionally earning that title, he’s consistently been an advocate for marginalized populations like LGBTQ people when other tennis players were afraid to be vocal for equal rights. He’s a good guy.

Being about to stick to a highly repetitive & monotonous routine day-in day-out for 3/4 of the year is a talent in of itself. When people talk about athletes this is always overlooked. Look at everyday life, some people in school/uni/the workforce are able to achieve high productivity & output, others struggle.

Wasted talent, no guidance when younger, spoilt. Unsurprising, he acts the way he does.

Unlimited drugs in sport is heading towards a slippery slope. To do it just to see what happens isn't a valid reason. It would make the non drug sport look like a lesser level and lose value. The two can't coexist. The whole point of sport is to push the person athletically. If their achievements are a result purely from drugs then what is the point in competing.
