NICK KYRGIOS vs PATRICK MOURATOGLOU | Who’s the Tennis GOAT & The Importance of a Kind Eye

Күн бұрын

In this episode of GOOD TROUBLE with Nick Kyrgios, we welcome the legendary tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, known for his transformative work with some of the greatest tennis players, including Serena Williams. Having struggled with extreme shyness and social anxiety during his childhood, Patrick reveals how he turned it into a strength, which has set him apart as a coach. One positive remark from a teacher changed Patrick’s life and he now applies that same principle in his coaching, always focusing on the positives and looking at his players with a “kind eye”. Patrick also reflects on the infamous 2018 US Open final between Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams, and how it brought a lot more attention to tennis. Both Nick and Patrick have faced criticism for not conforming to traditional roles in tennis, but they’ve pushed boundaries to provoke change in the game.

Nick, you 100% proved you're not a waste of talent. Winning slams not exactly easy in Big 3 era, so to be a finalist vs. prime Djokovic at his very best and lose by a hair 🤷Same thing. That's one of the highest levels. It would be fun to rub it in their face, but you know the truth. And your fans do too. Loved watching you during that run. Congrats on your success, and hope to see you back on the court or more of this podcasting side hustle.

@robfrench8325 29 күн бұрын

Very insightful from PM. it's a common problem, talented players not trying their hardest for fear of failing (and then being labelled not talented which has been a part of their self-image for so long). Nick said that no one has ever said this to him before but I recall that John McEnroe made similar comments at a Laver Cup a few years back (Nick being afraid of trying etc). The sign that Nick has that talent identity crisis is his on court tantrums. A tennis coach once told me that the real meaning of most on court tantrums is the player communicating to those watching that: "I hope you know that I am better than this - pls do not judge my by how this is going so far". I think that is what Nick does (no judgment, I have done it myself!). Nick appears to be a nice guy deep down and a brilliant tennis player (not just talented), I hope he can let that part of his identity go, he will enjoy the game so much more if he does.

@matsdehli 14 күн бұрын

I completely agree with Nick on the coaching question. One of the main things that attracted me to tennis was the individualism and independence of a tennis player. I always had a soft spot for Nick, although he has behaved like a moron a few times. He is not a wasted talent. He's already had a career that most people can only dream of, and I hope he will continue doing his thing.

Heavens, yes! A second serve is taken for granted but it's such a weird thing. You get to start a rally with this massive advantage, yet when you mess up it's like "yeah, whatever, you get a second shot". It would even things out incredibly for people who are less than 182 cm.

Agree with Nick on no in-match coaching in tennis. Could be interesting that a player's support/team also aren't allowed in a stadium/arena for matches, or are monitored to prevent "illegal" coaching. I like rule change to one serve, but even if keep both serves remove let cords on serves.

PM's thoughts on talent (widely shared by others, probably as far back as the ancient Asante) seems spot-on. You could see NK getting a big uncomfy; him not having heard it seems a bit symptomatic of being under-exposed to critical opinions. I do think PM forgot to mention that "failure", of course, is not not reaching one's desired objectives but not trying to do so as best one can. However, sometimes not achieving despite repeated good-faith attempts can lead to something like "failure fatigue" (e.g. I had this when trying to break into the South African NGO sector; at some point I realized it's just not worth it to keep trying and I should invest my energies elsewhere.)

@mirnesnuhanovic9597 29 күн бұрын

If Nick wants to become the GS champion, he must be ready to "die" on the court. In 2009 at AO semi-final against Verdasco Nadal went 5 sets, in the final he beat Federer in 5 sets two days later. In 2012 at AO Novak played 5 sets against Murray in the semi-finals to defeat Nadal in 5 sets in the final. 2017 Federer at the age of 36 played 4 out of 7 matches in 5 sets to win the first GS after 5 years at AO. These are examples of champions.

I think Nick can have a shot at Wimbledon if he learns serve and volleys and hits almost every second serve with a first serve intensity. Honestly he doesn't have much of a chance at any other Grand Slams cause guys like Alcaraz and Sinner and Medvedev and still Novak are too fast and consistent for Nick to deal with in a long match. But he has a slim chance at Wimbledon because of the quirky grass courts and the ability for a quirky player to succeed against traditional baseline players. But he has to go Dustin Brown v Rafa mode the entire tournament. That would be his challenge.

@whatevs1700 29 күн бұрын

Nick, you are a great interviewer and you obviously have an intelligent eye for the game, not just talent. Hope you get fit and we see you on court soon. Just hope you can get it right mentally. I am not a fan of your bad on court behaviour and the constant yelling at your box. You should treat those guys with more respect for being there for you. It also doesn’t help your game, even if you think it does… the proof is in the results thus far. My read on it is that deep down you were very insecure so you put on a tough man show. But… you seem to be in a better place now and you seem more truly confident… rather than just showing fake bravado… so hopefully that translates to better on court behaviour and better results. I really want to root for you but you have made it difficult thus far… time to finally grow up… It would be a real shame if you don’t win a Grand Slam, you are too good not to have one… please don’t suddenly retire when you get one either… aim a bit higher… at least 2 or 3.

Around 14 mins Pat outlines some basic Psychology - if you try and fail you have failed, if you do not try you have not failed- here applied to people who have something to lose (a talented identity), the idea they would be the 'best' if they tried harder. Yet Nick has not heard this, suggesting he does not read, study, or even think all that often, or well.

I love nick Kyrgios as a tennis player. He is more talented than zverev, Medvedev, tsitsipas, and Rublev in my opinion. I think he has always cared about being the best but was afraid of failure if he never reached those expectations. I think he tells everyone he doesn't care about the game as a defense mechanism, but in all actuality it means everything to him.
