"Nadal with Kyrgios' serve will probably be the God of tennis" - Tennis fans unanimously pick Rafael Nadal-Nick Kyrgios combo as the deadliest

Reacting to a hypothetical scenario, tennis fans in unison agreed that if Rafael Nadal could serve like Nick Kyrgios, he would be an unstoppable force in the sport.

The Big 3 have dominated the men's circuit over the last two decades in the most profound manner. When Pete Sampras won his 14th Grand Slam title in 2002, few would have guessed that someone would surpass him, let alone three men reaching at least 20 Majors, playing at the same time.

A fan recently took to a discussion website and asked others to choose the best fictional combination of players and skills. The three options were the Mallorcan with Kyrgios' serve, Roger Federer with Stan Wawrinka's backhand, and Novak Djokovic with Juan Martín del Potro's forehand.

The majority of the responders suggested that if the Spaniard had Kyrgios' serve, he would have been unstoppable. The reason being that Nadal would have won easy points and his games and matches would have been shorter, making him less prone to injuries. Fans noted that Federer's backhand and Djokovic's forehand were already great.

"Easily. Nadal was/is the worst at getting free points on his serve out of the 3 and still held like 85% of the time last I checked. Give him a godly serve and he’d legit be impossible to stop. Djokovic’s FH is very underrated; it’s already quite good. The power isn’t Ike Delpo’s obviously, but it’s exceptional at placement. And the BH of Federer was also really good - he dominated the tour with it for years lol," a fan said.

"Nadal with Kyrgios’s serve and it’s not even close. That's literally pretty much the perfect tennis player. No weaknesses and two absolutely massive weapons (serve + forehand). The ONLY way this hypothetical player loses is by injury or by beating himself," another wrote.

"Agreed completely. Nadal with Kyrgios’ serve would give a TON of free points when dialed in, potentially shortening service games, shortening matches, shortening the wear and tear on his body," another fan posted.

Nick Kyrgios not surprised that Pat Cash lost to 14-year-old Rafael Nadal

Nick Kyrgios (L) and the Spaniard

In an exhibition match in 2000, former players Boris Becker and Pat Cash were supposed to play against each other. However, Becker withdrew at the last minute and was replaced by Rafael Nadal, who was just 14 years old at the time.

Cash started by playing casually before realizing that the kid was special. The youngster defeated the Australian in straight sets.

Reacting to the event, Nick Kyrgios poked fun at Cash, saying that he was not surprised.

"Doesn’t really surprise me at all, Pat Cash wouldn’t win games now," Kyrgios tweeted.
