"If he had 30% of the required discipline, he would easily be in the Top 10," Djokovic discusses his relationship with Kyrgios
Despite their disagreement related to the health crisis, Djokovic and Kyrgios have buried the hatchet and now get along very well. Proof of this is their participation together in doubles at the Brisbane tournament at the end of 2024. When questioned by the press, the Serb highlighted his tour colleague's talent, while also mentioning his physical struggles:
"As controversial and different as he is, people love him. He draws crowds. I saw him talking with Bublik about a match against Sabalenka, a battle of the sexes like Billie Jean King's back in the day. It would be very interesting if that happened. Also, I really hope he can finish his career on the court.
It would be a shame if injuries prevent him from playing a few more big tournaments. Unfortunately, he hasn't had the necessary discipline, but if he had 30% of it, he would easily be in the Top 10. He played a Wimbledon final without warming up, without serious training, without a coach, and he beat all the best of us."
For reference, since 2022, the player has never truly returned to the ATP tour, suffering repeated injuries. His last singles appearance dates back to the Miami Masters 1000 last March.

Djokovic, however, is nigh native speaker fluent in English. It's superb.
Not only that, but Djokovic speaks 12 languages.
Nadal or alcazar can barely speak their own mother tongue.
So, before you come to me about on court behaviour and that being a marker of goat ness - consider the off court presence first.
Nadal never a GOAT. And let's not even talk about his doping.
Never forget the US Open and Australian Open did not let him play because he refused the vax, but allowed hundreds of thousands of spectators to sit next to each other, maskless no less, without proving their vaccination history.
This no doubt affected the Grand Slam record as Novak was top seed at both, especially at AO where he had won 9 titles.
