Lleyton Hewitt’s tennis legend claims he will be sidelined at the Australian Open

Tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt has named Nick Kyrgios a ‘dangerous’ opponent ahead of Monday’s Australian Open.

Action at Melbourne Park is set to begin at 11am, and Hewitt, a world number one, would not be surprised to see his compatriot upset some big-name players. .

‘Nick just needs to get his body going, get the rust out of it,’ Hewitt told the Today Show on Friday morning.

‘He has so many weapons (on the court), he’s going to be dangerously dangerous.

‘If it can pull up well, it’s definitely a dangerous flower that none of the big names will want to go into week two.’

Hewitt also believes the local players, led by world number one Ash Barty, will have a huge advantage over their opponents who have been in quarantine for two weeks.

‘It’s a big factor, no doubt about it,’ he said. ‘We hope to see a number of Aussies perform well over the next two weeks in court. ‘

Kyrgios has left countless tennis fans confused throughout his career due to his obvious natural talent.

At times in court he shows that he has no interest in it, and Kyrgios has repeatedly stated in recent years that he does not like the sport, but that his job is to live on the ‘professional tour’. ‘

He barely played a professional game in 2020 because of Covid, and recently admitted that he spent much of the year ‘on his Playstation.’

Earlier this week, Kyrgios refused to play for several minutes after taking a break during his 6-2, 7-6 win over fellow Australian Harry Bourchier in the Australian Open warm-up event in Melbourne.

The Kyrgios, who built Canberra, threatened to retire from the practice game before claiming that the chairman’s empire was a ‘smart a ** e.’

The world’s number 47 recently broke with glamor girlfriend Chiara Passari.

Ms Passari posted an Instagram story on Tuesday night that included a post that read: ‘Cheaters always want you to be loyal while they are impatient’.

Passari, whose Instagram bio reads ‘Trust yourself, or other else’, captioned the post with ‘It gets better y’all’.

Kyrgios is reportedly not following Passari on Instagram.

On Friday, tennis officials confirmed that the grand slam will take place at Melbourne Park from Monday despite Covid ‘s concerns.

Population changes are not expected at the last minute, having been limited to 30,000 fans per day.

‘Our situation has not changed,’ Australian Tennis boss Craig Tiley said on Friday. Viewers will continue to allow in the site, and we are still selling tickets.

We will have health checks and contract finding. Areas are divided into zones with physical distance to be applied. ‘

‘The site will be a very safe place.’

The first grand slam of 2021 was thrown into disarray Wednesday night after a quarantine hotel worker tested what has since been proven to be the UK’s most contagious viral strain of the virus.

Around 520 tennis stars, officials and fans were identified as casual ties of the 26-year-old who worked at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The forward case ended Victoria’s 28-day climb of zero community emissions.
