As someone that’s new to watching tennis, how good is he? I only started watching a couple months back and I’ve noticed that he hasn’t been playing much at all because of an injury and any time I look him up it’s more about the controversy of him and all of the crazy moments as opposed to how good he actually is.
After looking at a couple of his head to heads and seeing he’s 4-1 vs someone such as Medvedev and 4-3 vs Zverev, I assume he’s extremely good?
As others said, he’s extremely skilled. He’s also incredibly fun to watch. He plays with a lot of variety, even tossing in some underarm serves and things like that. A really dynamic player. He also hits these absolutely monster flat forehands sometimes. If you wanna watch Kyrgios at his best, check out some of his old matches vs. Federer like in Miami (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaZKp5s-mxc) or at Laver Cup (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEoDYm0v4j0).
Of course, his matches can also be excruciating to watch because he sometimes behaves like a child.
