Kyrgios faces Djokovic chasing 'tennis immortality'Nick Kyrgios says he will be playing for 'the ultimate glory' and 'tennis immortality' when he faces Novak Djokovic in Sunday's Wimbledon men's final. Unjabbed and unstoppable. The fact he is there is his victory. 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️ Impossible to choose. Can't stand either of them. I hope Kyrgios loses and sees a therapist about his ego after the fact.
