Nick Kyrgios said that he would appear ‘completely naked’ on the show if the broadcaster scored a point against him in a Tennis matchup.
It was the ‘The Rich Eisen Show’, where Nick Kyrgios was invited and made the hilarious statement in response to the broadcaster’s desire to win a point against Carlos Alcaraz.
Nick Kyrgios who thinks highly of Alcaraz, believes that it would be next to impossible for the broadcaster to win a single point against the No.2 considering his caliber and performance.
“Off of Alcaraz? That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Djokovic, I think has beaten Federer in like a six love set before. And then Alcaraz has beaten Djokovic before. So, you think you can get a point?“
-Nick Kyrgios on Rich Eisen Show
Carlos Alcaraz was in contention for the year-ending No.1 trophy with Novak Djokovic but closely finished the season as the No.2 player. He has won 12 ATP Tour titles including two majors in his short career so far. He became the youngest player and first teenager at 19 to reach the No.1 ranking following his 2022 US Open win.
Nick Kyrgios was the runner-up at the 2022 Wimbledon Open. The 28-year-old Australian has been battling with multiple injuries for more than a year and has hardly played any tennis this year. He jokingly stated that he would appear on the show ‘naked’ the next time if the broadcaster managed to win a point against him.
“I’m guessing that you have a one handed backhand because, you don’t look like you have a two-handler. I’ll do this show naked next time if you get a point off me.”
