Nick Kyrgios fires new warning shot at Rafael Nadal and co

Nick Kyrgios wants to take the electric form that won him the ATP 500 title in Acapulco last week to the grass of London in June after signing up to compete once again at The Queen’s Club.

Kyrgios beat three of the world’s top 10 players – Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev and John Isner, as well as three-time grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka – to win in Mexico.

He’s now targeting something similar at the Wimbledon lead-up event from June 17-23.

“I know what I can do if I’m feeling good and I want to show that on the grass at Queen’s and Wimbledon this year,” Kyrgios said.

“The Fever-Tree Championships is a great event one of my good mates Andy Murray won the title five times there, so that shows how important it is.

“The courts are perfect, they suit my game and if I go well there it will set me up perfectly for Wimbledon.”

Kyrgios will join Murray, British No.1 Kyle Edmund, defending champion Marin Cilic and new world No.10 Stefanos Tsitsipas at Queen’s.

“When Nick plays like he did in Acapulco, he is one of the best and most exciting tennis players in the world,” tournament director Stephen Farrow said.

“We have always believed in his ability, he reached our semi-finals last year and we would love to see him put the tennis he played last week onto the grass at The Queen’s Club.”

Before that, though, Kyrgios will likely need to reproduce his scintillating form from Mexico at Indian Wells if he’s to make another deep run in California.

The Australian No.2 will enjoy a first-round bye after being seeded 31st but is slated to run into world No.1 Novak Djokovic in round three.

Kyrgios will face either Philipp Kohlschreiber or Pierre-Hugues Herbert in his opener this weekend.
