When Players Were Asked About Nick Kyrgios...

"He has some good traits...but he also has a very evil side." That was a top-five player in the world, at Wimbledon, talking about a man he had just lost to. He wasn't the only one asked. Over twelve years, the biggest names in the sport were put in front of a microphone and asked what they made of Nick Kyrgios — and their answers were not what anyone expected. One of them delivered a verdict so precise it has followed him ever since. One of them broke ranks entirely and said something nobody else was willing to say. They didn't agree on much. But almost every one of them said the same two things about him. Nobody disputed the first. Nobody could explain the second. In 2014, a nineteen-year-old ranked 144th in the world walked onto Centre Court and beat the world number one. Twelve years later, he walked off Court 17 and said he was pretty confident that was his last Wimbledon. This is what the players actually said — in their own words. So, waste or honesty?
