Rafael Nadal has dispelled a misunderstanding about his feud with Nick Kyrgios: that he was angered by the Australian's shock tactic of serving underarm.
Many believed that his outspoken criticism was sparked by Kyrgios using underarm serves during the match; an unusual and divisive tactic in tennis. Kyrgios retorted that Nadal's tactic of standing way behind the baseline when receiving had inspired him to serve underarm, and later branded the Spaniard "super salty".
"When he was serving his way, this thing, when I criticise him in Acapulco after the match, people understood that was because he was serving sometimes like this. I never criticised that. Is part of the game.
Well done Nick you have done us all proud wait till next time you’ll have him on toast Aussie proud 👍
The better player won.. Rafa kept his cool.. Kyrgios showed weakness (mentally)
