Kyrgios on Mpetshi Perricard: "I've played Raonic, Isner, Karlovic, and he has the biggest serve by far"

Nick Kyrgios spoke about his Brisbane opponent of the day, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who beat him 7-6, 6-7, 7-6. The Australian was full of praise.

He says: "He received the award for the best progression in 2024, so of course he was confident. I came in knowing how he played. I knew he likes to do two first serves.

He's going to do some damage, that's obvious. He's going to have a long career. He's got an easy movement on his serve, he's never had a dip. You have to pay tribute to him, he's a hell of a player.

I've played against Raonic, Isner, Karlovic, all these big servers, and he's got the biggest serve by far. It was interesting."
