Kyrgios is a Tennis Genius, says Goran Ivanisevic (Tennis Now)

Goran Ivanisevic tells reporters that it was a fruitless endeavor to draw up a gameplan for Nick Kyrgios. Simply put, the Aussie is just too unpredictable.

โ€œBut also he knew on this stage, when Nick starts to talk, he's going to be vulnerable. You could feel that Djokovic was perpetually ready for moments like these on Sunday. He had to be, and he knew it. โ€œHe doesn't know what he's going to play next in the point,โ€ the 2001 Wimbledon singles champion said. It led to a forehand down-the-line winner by the Serb on the next shot. Kyrgios led 40-0 after banging two aces and a service winner to start. He tossed ample praise in the Aussieโ€™s direction after Djokovic topped Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3) in three hours and one minute on Sunday.
