Kyrgios' preparations for the third Major of the year started at the earlier this month, where he made it to the semifinals before losing to in straight sets. He is set to compete at the next. Speaking on Tennis Channel, former World No. 1 said that while Kyrgios was fantastic to watch, he was unsure if his body would hold up throughout the Championships. "The thing about Kyrgios is that, can his body hold up, do we know if he's been training? One of the things that makes him so fantastic to watch is we just don't know where his body is at, we don't know where his game is at most of the time," Roddick said. The American also spoke about the danger that comes with playing Kyrgios on grass and praised the Australian's fearless nature on the surface. "But one thing we do know is that the guy can flat out play on grass, he's not scared to go against the biggest names in the game, centre court, big courts, he likes them even more so, you do not want to see him if you're a seeded player anywhere near your name in the first couple of rounds," Roddick said. . looks to be a serious threat heading into ! ?
