Nick Kyrgios: Roger Federer can neutralize big servers so easy

believes that could have had a tougher match if, in front of the Australian, on Tuesday he had been a better returner and player in general. I think there are players that are much better than I am, admitted the 23-year-old. I think obviously guys like Roger (Federer) and stuff can neutralize big servers so easy with the chip return, which I dont have.

But, yeah, it would have beaten a lot of players, for sure. I mean, the way I played, I actually didnt play that bad. I actually thought I played okay. I competed well. I probably would have beaten 75% of the draw. But Milos played scary.

Facing Raonic, a former world no. 3 wasnt an easy opening match for Kyrgios, who headed into the Australian Open as an unseeded player. Obviously, it was well conscious that I could have drawn anyone here.

I know thats the danger of being unseeded. Im not complaining, honestly. He was too good. Its a tennis match. Like, were okay. Like, I lost. Its fine. Asked if he will play the Davis Cup in February, Kyrgios added: I dont think Id be picked.

Theres a lot of good players right now. Obviously De Minaur, Millman, theyre all playing great. Theres a lot of depth, which is pretty good for us. Ive always wanted to play Davis Cup. I love Davis Cup. If I dont play, I dont play.

Like, Im available. Thats all I got to say. Like, what do you want from me? On Thursday, Raonic defeated Stan Wawrinka in four sets to move into the third round. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
