Kyrgios to McEnroe: Dream On


Common craziness does not form the foundation for a coaching partnership in Nick Kyrgios' mind.

Hall of Famer John McEnroe cited crazy on-court disposition as a reason he could be the right coach for Kyrgios.

"The guy that would make the most sense on paper would be Nick Kyrgios because we are two head cases," McEnroe remarked during Roland Garros. "But mentally we are a bit wacky."

Kyrgios, who has been working with Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean, views a potential partnership with the mercurial McEnroe as a nutty idea.

Asked about working with McEnroe as coach, Kyrgios replied: "He’s dreaming," in remarks to the AAP.

The 22-year-old Aussie, who defeated Alexander Zverev back-to-back at Indian Wells and Miami, said he isn't concerned the 20-year-old German has surpassed him in the rankings and captured a Masters 1000 crown in Rome. 

“I’ve never lost to him so I don’t look at it and think ‘it should have been me’,” Kyrgios said of Zverev. “He’s a great player and does everything right. He’s very professional.

“His consistency seems to be pretty good. He’s playing deep through tournaments. “He’s so young and has amazing potential and is going to be contending for Grand Slams."
